Gynotikolobomassophile (M, 43) seeks neanimorphic F to 60 to share euneirophrenia. Must enjoy pissing off librarians (and be able to provide the correct term for same). [personal ad from the London Review of Books] - David Rose (ed.), They call me Naughty Lola (2006) as you see, this citation (used in today's wwftd entry*) purports to be from an actual LRB personal ad. link to book review but, of course, my question regards the "the correct term for same"; i.e., I'd love to know what that term might be. *the worthless word for the day is: neanimorphic

Well, bibliophylacoparorgize would be "to provoke librarians to anger". How about epichaerebibliophylacoparorgize? (OK, I made it all up.) Who wrote that letter/ Wanda Tinasky?

Neanimorphic, shocking! Is Wanda Tinasky a M 43? What is a M 43 by the way, a shoe mesure?
Edit: and this one? Gynotikolobomassophile? Masters of language?

I would suggest that the correct term for someone who enjoys pissing off librarians is 'idiot'. There are, of course other, equally applicable terms but they're mostly not suitable for a family forum.
