leicaphile 

A person who takes photographs exclusively with a Leica.

If one claims to BE a leicaphile, he is likely a dirty old man, possibly retired and rich, who enjoys taking candid shots of women's bums and call it street photography. Often with no concern for photographic image making, only exploitation of beautiful women wearing thongs as they bend over accidently revealing their undergarments.

OMG, did you see that leicaphile? He must have taken eight shots of that woman! What a pervert!

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."
-Peter Frederick in Persuasive Writing: How to Harness the Power of Words
