Whifficionado<\/strong>: \/\\wif-fish-ee-uh-NAH-doh\\<\/em>\/ Because Hector was a real whifficionado, anything that came near his face — the phone, his sunglasses, even his girlfriend — would get scrutinosed, and fragranalyzed. He had a total sniffixation. Etymology:<\/em> whiff – “a slight trace of odor or smell” (aspirated var. of Middle English, weffe) + aficionado – “enthusiast” (Spanish, aficion, -from Latin, affectionem) Created by:<\/em> Tigger.<\/p>\n

\nI sorry if I’ve stolen “sniffixation” from you. I was unaware that you used it in your sentence. I’m happy to withdraw it & ubstitute “fragranxiety”. I’m a fan of whifficionado; it’s a great word.<\/p>\n

Tigger<\/a><\/strong>, 2007-11-29: 12:21:00<\/em>
\nNo problem. Great minds think alike — apparently, so do we sometimes. \ud83d\ude09 I though that your word ‘smellancholy’ was brilliant.<\/p>\n

\nI think this captures the ‘essence’ of the definition.<\/p>\n

\nExcellent word. Very funny.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Obsesscent<\/strong>: \/uhb-ses-sent<\/em>\/ He is annoyingly obsesscent to the point of whiffing everything he comes in contact with. This schnozealous behaviour is to say the least neurotic and sniffsessive. Etymology:<\/em> obsess + scent Created by:<\/em> Stevenson0.<\/p>\n

\nExcellent creation<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Funkjunkie<\/strong>: \/funk-junk-ee<\/em>\/ Fenella’s compulsive sniffing had a nasty side-effect whereby she became addicted to strong, even repulsive, odours. She was diagnosed as a funkjunkie. Etymology:<\/em> funk (a strong smell) + junkie (addict) Created by:<\/em> petaj.<\/p>\n

\nGood one petaj. I like the sound of it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rhinomaniacal<\/strong>: \/-rie-no-muh-nie-uh-kul-<\/em>\/ This rhinomaniacal freak just sniffed the aluminum foil he borrowed to see if it was fresh. Etymology:<\/em> “rhinoplasty” and “egomaniacal” Created by:<\/em> hendrixius.<\/p>\n
