“Lexophile” describes one who has a love for words, such as “you can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish”, or “To write with a broken pencil is pointless.” An annual competition is held by the New York Times to see who can create the best original lexophile.
Note: The paragraph above kinda bothered me a little. (Is a lexophile a person, a witty statement, or both? Is it even a word?) I got intrigued and did a little ‘research’. For a semi-boring summary of what I found, check out Lexophile, the Word? Otherwise, ON WITH THE SHOW:
