Lexiophile

Bastardization of "lexiphile" (itself a fake word) originated by Peter Frederick to fuck with his readers. It's supposed to mean someone who loves reading, based off the greek lexikos ("of or for words") and philia ("fondness").

"If your audience is a lexiophile (look it up), supply a veritable smorgasbord of stimulating sentences."
