Pharketing

An email, or other communication, sent with a link to a seemingly useful resource but that really is just testing to see if your email address is active and if this kind of resource might be of use to you. The pharketer will then add your email to a distribution list for more pharketing messages to be sent or given to a company as a genuine lead. Not malicious, but certainly worth being wary of. See also pharming and phishing.

Pharmaphile

A person deeply passionate about all forms of medicine—prescription drugs, supplements, traditional Chinese medicine, and over-the-counter products—who thoroughly studies their effects and shares insights, reviews, and knowledge, often on platforms like YouTube and tiktok.

Example:
He’s such a pharmophile — when we went abroad he spent half an hour in a chemist getting excited about a cough medicine you can’t buy back home.
Lee: Bruv, you seen that Grant Harting on YouTube? That pharmacist geezer who goes round chemists getting excited about all the medicines?

Frank: Oh yeah, I know — he's amusing, bruv. LOL.

Lee: Someone in the comments called him a pharmaphile in the comment section, and it made him well happy. LOL
.
Frank: LOL.

Lee: LOL.
