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."
The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.
Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
A slang term used to describe a bald person, typically someone who is completely bald or has a closely shaved head. The term is derived from the infamous, hairless kids’ cartoon character of the same name.
Example 1:
“Did you see that caillou over there? His head is reflecting the sun like a disco ball.”
Example 2:
“I think Dave is finally accepting his hair loss. He just went full caillou and shaved the whole thing off.”
