Another dumb invented philia/phobia. Cannot find one usage, only a few mentions. Equinox ◑ 22:00, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
- It amazes me how long this has been around. --WikiTiki89 23:55, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
- Can we keep this until 31/10/2014? Then it will have lasted 10 years. Also why does lavacult- refer to bathing suit? Renard Migrant (talk) 17:06, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- Presumably whoever invented this term was thinking of Latin lavō (“bathe”) and cultus (“clothing, attire”), but this isn't the way Latin compounds are formed, and lavō means 'bathe' in the sense of 'wash' not in the sense 'swim for recreation', and cultus means 'fancy dress'. If I were going to invent a Latin word for 'bathing suit' it would be vestitus natationis, and if I were going to invent a philia for arousal by bathing suits I would use a pseudo-Greek word, not a pseudo-Latin word. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 17:37, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
