I keep hearing this word around, and when I incidentally found it while perusing the dictionary the other day (“Hi…. my name is Dave, and I am a….. a… a linguaphile. It’s been 3 days since I’ve played the dictionary game, and at the moment I really need another hit..) I thought I should share it with the world.

It does of course have a lot of associated islamic and religious bagage if you will, but I still like the concept.
