Edophile 

An individual who has a strong positive predisposition or interest toward education. The term stems from the conjugation of the word "education" and the Greek suffix "-ophile." This passion on education does not need to be limited to formal academic courses or degrees. An edophile often demonstrates their interest by reading books and obsessively going over the newspaper. An edophile can typically be seen researching new fun facts or telling obscure historical anecdotes.

Sometimes erroneously mischaracterized as pretentious or snobbish.
Example 1:
"I'm Dr. Sheldon Cooper, B.S., M.S., M.A., Ph.D., and Sc.D.… OMG right?"

Example 2:
Person 1: "The only time Cody takes a break from reading one of his 800 page books is when he stops to read the New York Times."
Person 2: "He is such an edophile."

edophile 

An extremely obsessive/crazed fangirl of Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. 'Edo' is the Japanese pronounciation of 'Ed', therefore creating a clever pun on the word 'pedophile'. Symptoms of an Edophile include but are not limited to:

-Talking about Ed constantly
-Lack of sleep due to internet Ed picture splurges
-Having more than one Ed avatar or icon in use
-Incessant babble claiming of wanting to 'have his children'...
-Posts on fullmetal-alchemist.com
-Posts/takes Fullmetal Alchemist quizzes constantly
-Annoys friends and/or innocent passerbys/civlians by talking about Ed

To distract an Edophile, proceed to throw any Fullmetal Alchemist related figure/object a long distance. They will chase after it and never be seen again. Until they want more stuff.
Look at my daughter, shes looking at more Ed pictures. Shes such an edophile

exophile 

A combination of the prefix "exo", derived from the word extraterrestrial, and the suffix "phile", meaning "to have an affinity for".

An exophile is someone who has an interest in extraterrestrial life forms, either in fictional material (movies, television, books, etc) or the real possibility of such beings existing somewhere in the universe.
The serious exophile may be considered a misanthrope for preferring the idea of alien companionship over his fellow man.
