If aristophagy were the eating of only the best food;
plutophagy were the eating of only the richest food; and
monophagy were the eating of only one kind of food; then
Poohbaphagy would be the eating of only the best, Pooh-bahs!
oder?

Is puerile smut child pornography?

It sounds like a disease of young plants to me.

Where did that horse naming thread go to? Here are two more... "Down the final stretch, it's Puerile Smut followed by Pathetic Fallacy!"

Look, I'm the last to complain about all the esophagy on this phagosite, but the word is Poobaphagy
Poobahphagy


As the coiner, I must disagree - my intent was to put forth a word with the "hph" construction, as I can't think of another word that has it. I pointed out the orthographical pitfalls of the word with that in mind, and now see that I fell into one - it should in fact be Poohbahphagy. Now that's a word - three h's, and not a single h sound.

Note to Jackie and tsuwm: I wish to ensure you that my introduction of the notion of Poohbahphagy was in no way intended to condone, suggest, or otherwise encourage such behavior, any more than posting on autophagy suggested that I was limbering up and eyeing my ankle-bone with a hungry gleam in my eye. But a discussion of the appropriate condiments would be interesting, given the foodies we've got around here.

I'll take Pickapeppa and Pico Pica sauce, perhaps a side of guacamole!

hyla, i would be most appreciative if you could tone down your posts a bit; i keep laughing too loudly and waking the kids.

as for Poohbahphagic condiments... what better than *honey*??

and since i have your ear, may i propose the following solution for your self-described poohbahphobia (ie getting beaten to the punch by tsuwm):

when you see an interesting thread to which you haven't yet formulated a response, simply do as follows:

(1) immediately enter a post with a single "."

(2) wait for tsuwm to offer his eruditions.

(3) copy his entire message using ctrl-A then ctrl-C

(4) go back to your post, which is immediately above tsuwm's, and edit it by clicking ctrl-V

(5) enter a new post directly below tsuwm's, saying "HA! i see i beat you to it!"

(6) wait for the people on the other side of the pond to return home, log into AWAD, and congratulate you on your witty response.

well when it come to some forms of canabalism-- i think i like kama sutra oil best as a condiment--( grape seed oil, with honey and spices)-- but i suspect the gutter police are going to write me up for this---

<<as the coiner>>

I yield to your discretion. In the grip of the Obnoxious, I grabbed "orthography" and missed the elegance of your choice. Well done!

As to condiments: I take my Pooh-bah with relish!
