I believe I have just coined a word describing a person who is enamored of and pursues the odd, the weird,
the off the wall. The word is bizarrophiliac.

I like that. Very sensible to borrow a good word when we seem to be lacking one. That's why English is so gloriously chaotic. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Social service agencies is my area have taken to using the word "paramour" for a live-in lover of either sex.
Prog Rock Girl replied to Bill E's discussion 'Tom Swifties' in the group LINGUAPHILES & SESQUIPEDALIANS
Finally I came up with one!
"I'll pump my own gas," Tom said self-servingly.

Tom swiftly replied that he wasn't up to speed on the topic yet.

Hyvää päivänjatkoa ja nähdään!

Sarah Bonner said… - Thanks, Bill, I'll check it out. Yeah, I sang at Harold Washington's funeral when I was like ten...that was ages ago. I sang at the funeral with a choir I was in called, ironically, "All God's Children".
Yeah, my main concern for my kids at this point is that my sister/bro in law are VERY religious and Christian and I'm constantly putting out fires like "Mommy, are you going to hell because you don't believe in Jesus?" I love my sister, but I hate that she tries to program my kids to feel fear for the soul of their mother. Now that they're getting older it's a little easier for them to figure these things out on their own, but it's scary to think something could happen to your mom. Also, I had to explain to them that Santa didn't exist pretty regularly as my parents couldn't help but perpetuate the lie year after year. I think we're over that now, too, though. How old are your little ones?

Daryl Spitzer said… - Hi Bill. My kids are 6, 5 and 3. How old are your two?
You've sure put a lot of work into this page. I'll be sure to take the time to look at it later. (And perhaps it will inspire me to work on mine.)
Beautiful photos!
