Someone (more often than not American) who holds an extremely romanticised view of England and the English. Can be found putting on an Dick Van Dyke-esque English accent and saying things like 'fag'.

A lover of things English; used pejoratively or self-referentially.
In practice, a person with an unhealthy admiration for English culture. Similar to a wigger or Otaku. Contrasted somewhat by an asiaphile whom, while lusting after either the aura or perceived accessibility of an Asian mate, generally has a non-existent or patronizing relationship with Asian culture.

Anglophiles will listen to any trashy club-pop, as long as a skinny guy from the small island poses in a "mod" suit on the poster.

"There's something terribly wrong with John; he said that he wasn't an Anglophile."

A better version of an American, who's not over-excited about everything, and tells time like a Brit
"Isn't Eliot an Anglophile?"
"Oh yeah, that's why he's so suave"
"One day I want to be like him"
American: "Rad, it's 6:36 PM"
Anglophile:" Oh, it's 18:36"
"Oh yeah, that's why he's so suave"
"One day I want to be like him"
American: "Rad, it's 6:36 PM"
Anglophile:" Oh, it's 18:36"

A horribly misguided person who believes that England is the best country, and even worse, better than the United States. Often known to annoy friends by constantly interjecting British terms and cultural references.
