The term "elmophilia" denotes the fondness, esp. the abnormal love, for the Sesame Street character "
Elmo", and is displayed primarily by
people who insist on referring to themselves in the third person. These
people are often referred to as "elmophiliacs".
One notable elmophiliac is DarkAries.
DarkAries: "Okay. First off, you're
wrong, but Aries is not going to call you a bad person because of it, because it'
s not going to do any good to anybody."
Person#2: "Why do you refer to yourself in the third person?"
Person#3: "He is a split personality.
One half thinks the other half types. I used to be the same
way but then I had the operation."
Person#4: "It appears that DarkAries suffers from elmophilia."
