Emophilia 

Emophilia is the term used to describe someone whom has a tendency to fall in love easily, fast and/often; formerly known as ‘emotional promiscuity’.

Having Emophilia could potentially be a sign of Anxious Attachment Style.

-when two diseases are combined together, emo (ignore the pun), and hemophilia.
-an oxymoron, an emo that in fact is a hemophiliac would be redundant, in the sense that the general conception is that emos slit their wrists, or make themselves bleed. Hemophilia is the disease were your blood doesn't clot, so essentially, an emo that is also a hemophiliac would be redundant, because they would bleed to death

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
