Ooh, I just found out that I'm a sybarite without even knowing it! A sybarite, I have discovered, is a lover of luxury. I am certainly one of those. My luxurious moments are few and far between, but always enjoyed. Thanks for entering with your invented meanings for sybarite. I enjoyed them all.
Jeremy with lot of numbers after his name is today's winner: "A sybarite is a generic term for an evil android, usually from the future. This term is useful when the Earth is being invaded by evil androids, and it is unclear whether they are Terminators, Replicants, Cylons, etc."

Sybarite refers to the etiquette required in monasteries.
Sybarite is a highly combustible compound used in the manufacture of glue.
Sybarite is a type of tie knot popular in the 1960's, when sci-fi programs were much in demand. You may not think many ties were worn in 1960's sci-fi TV, but you'd be surprised. Watch some re-runs and you will see how many aliens and martians really did wear ties!
