Ha! This is me, a turophile. Turophilia/turophile: Love of cheese / connoisseur of cheese. From wiki's entry about the suffix -phil- used to specify some kind of attraction or affinity to something, in particular the love or obsession with something.

I am trying to find the word that means love/attraction to aliens. Anyone know the word I'm looking ( Read more... )

The word you want is "xenophile", honey ♥

Spell it XXXenophile and it is a rather delightfully smutty comic by Phil Foglio ;-)

EEe, I adore that comic! Is he still producing it? I rarely buy comics these days.

We own pretty much everything that Phil Foglio has ever done - in particular 6 collections of Xxxenophile comics - #6 was published in 2000 - does that answer your question?

See this link if you want details.

Phil and Kaja are now doing a webcomic http://www.girlgeniusonline.com - it's less smutty and more plotty but still very much the same style.

Nice to meet a fellow fan :-)

I wonder what the word is for love of maps.

I'd go with cartophilia, because of cartography, the creation of maps. :)

yes, t-shirt. *packs t-shirt* Did you watch Good News Week?? I thought I'd somehow gone through the time vortex and was back in the 90s! It's was such a weird sensation - like what Rae was talking about when watching the Mysterious Cities of Gold. Aw, the site Paul talked about 'I worship at the altar of Jensen Ackles' arse' seems to have been taken down. :( But, my oh my, flashbacks to the Mickey/Paul love that I was musing on not so long ago! ;D
