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.

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

[fr. Gk neanikos youthful, fresh, active]
looking younger than one's years

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?

M, 43 is personals speak for a 43 y.o. male
Gynotikolobomassophile is (supposedly) a man who likes to nibble women's earlobes.

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.

Well, not a hospital. I think it was an STD clinic, so it wasn't nearly as challenging.
