Geophagist
A geophagist eats dirt. So most toddlers go through the geophagy phase - well those who haven't got an early dose of OCD of course. Apparently I took a liking to sand as a toddler. One of my sisters preferred snails. I think there was a geophagist among us as well. Any word imps out there with toddlers can increase their children's vocabulary now, thanks to Word Imperfect! Shari's invented meaning was the winner on the day. Good for you, Shari!

A geophagist is a person who collects dirt. They'll have little jars all along their desks and windowsills, filled with samples of dirt. Each jar will have a label telling where the dirt came from and when. You can't always tell if a person's a geophagist -- some hide their fetish quite well -- but the dead giveaway is when they ask you for the contents of your vacuum cleaner bag.
A geophagist is someone who travels around the world studying the plausibility of local ghost stories. Tired of feeling like great-aunt Mildred is staring at you every time you walk up the back stairs? Call in the geophagist to see what can be done.
A Geophagist is actually the term for somebody who collects globes. They are quite well travelled as they search the "globe" for even more amazing and interesting globes to add to their collections. I collect teapots, I wonder what I that's called?
