"Botaniphiles"

[IamN2pot]

In an email I just got from a medicinal cactus grower, he used a new word for me, so I thought I'd share. I'm not sure if I like it or not??? So let's ask the forum.

Botaniphiles

 

[moe.red]

I say no because I really like the words I learned that are botany specific.

I'm calling myself a cannalinguist.

Sounds too Gen Z and those fuckers don't think the world existed before 2004 so I vote no and prefer "Botanist" or "Pot Farmer" if you're not into the whole brevity thing

 

[GoodShit97]

I say no cause i just don't like the word

 

[Moshmen]

I say no any word ending with phile has got to be bad! I grow weed ! Lol grew up a farmer always a farmer

Uhm, no... sounds like you have some creepy plant fucking fetish.

"Mommy, why is that naked man putting his privates in a hole in that tree?"

"Look away son, he's probably a botaniphile."

Even if we completely ignore the use of the suffix of "phile" with "pedo," it generally means an obnoxiously obsessed person.

We'd all have to be obnoxiously obsessed with growing weed in order to be called...

Well shit. I didn't think this through before starting to post, did I? So as Mosh was saying, this word is just plain bad! No need to think about it further.

Glad im not the only one that felt this way

 

[IamN2pot]

I really did think it was ...uhh, off key, if I can put it that way. Glad I'm not alone in thinking that!

 

[thebranchman]

It's a different world now. "4 wheeling" is now called "Over Landing"? "Equallity" is now "Equity". I don't like these new words I have to goggle lol.

Cumon man, get woke.

The 5 wheelers and 3 wheelers don't like it when you call it 4 wheeling.

I have never heard the term over landing... don't like it. Makes me think of the Jawas from Star Wars, which are basically land pirates.
