A person who becomes stimulated (mentally and otherwise) by language -
word play, freudian slips, sarcasm, one liners, pickup lines, double entendres, interlingual references, trash talking, snaps, sexting, unusual names, quotations, new languages, grammar, etc. etc. Taken from the combination of "
word" and "pervert". Probably bordering on mental illness but not disruptive to a "
normal" existence (on the contrary, it may in fact enhance the person'
s daily social interactions dramatically).
From Oscar Wilde to textsfromlastnight.
com, there are too many examples of wordvert to give in one little
box -
go read/watch/listen/talk!
