CumulaTest—The Solution

Here are the answers to last Friday's quiz:

      Archtophile:   teddy bears
      Bestiarist:   medieval books on animals
      Bibliophile:   books
      Deltiologist:   postcards
      Discophile:   phonograph records

      Gnomologist:   aphorisms, proverbs & short poems
      Labeorphile:   beer bottles
      Lepidopterist:   butterflies
      Notaphilist:   bank notes or checks
      Numismatist:   coins

      Philatelist:   stamps
      Phillumenist:   matchbook covers or matchboxes
      Philographer:   autographs
      Vecturist:   subway tokens
      Vexillologist:   flags or banners

Let's face it, that one was pretty damn tough. Even I could only score ten correct today and I researched the damn quiz. So score yourself thusly:

    0-3: Discarder: You throw everything away.
    4-6: Collector: Terrific job! You must live on eBay.
  7-10: OmniGatherer: There's nothing you won't save.
11-15: Websterer: You must live with your nose in the dictionary.

For the record, I found many other unusual terms that I could have included, but most of them were copies of one another's trivia terms. To make it in this quiz I had to be able to locate at least two credible sources. (This ain't no amateur blog, baby!)

Having said that, I decided to have some fun and coin a few new terms of my own. The following list contains fifteen new or redefined terms for collectors with the objects they collect. Here then are my neolgisms for collectors of the world:

      Barbierian:   dolls
      Soilsport:   dirt
      Onomatapianist:   word sounds
      Pathologist:   mental disorders
      Digicuticlist:   fingernail clippings

      Scatinarian:   animal droppings
      Memoirist:   recovered memories
      Dominatrix:   victims
      Omphaloskepticist:   dubious navels
      Agememnonist:   troyfuls

      Omniprocurer:   everything
      Notathingman:   nothing
      INM8:   license plates
      Judithsistist:   popsicle® sticks
      Oneliner:   first sentences
