I suggest logolept (a word maniac; verbivore, logophile)
or
logolatrist, from logolatry (worship of words)

It was ParkinT who said words must be shared. I could tell of course, (maybe) but I'm afraid some logocleptomaniac might take them.

OK.
First word means: We got to go.
Second word means: Stay awake till I get there.
It was shared between my two sisters and brother and me, to avoid our mother from knowing that we never slept right away when we had gone to bed , but invented our daily radioplay in unlimited episodes. My elder brother came up half an hour later as he was a few years older.
We still use them in letters.
So, kailaidepoddowiet! Yeh! stupid, but it was infinite F U N!
