lover, old chap, lover. "phile" means love.
Hence i love kids. So hopefully all parents are paedophiles.

Its weird how unsatisfying it is being a pedantic OLD GIT

Not quite for parents, more like for NAMBLA (thank you South Park). Pedos love kids in a sexual way, parents in a parental way (hopefully).

Christ, try reading the posts Gay Thai.
Paedophile means "Children lover". Thats what it means. How you choose to interpret that is your business. (See Humpty Dumpty for more on linguistic relativism).
If you've got half abrain, which is by no means obvious, you'll interpret it as meaning...loves children.

I think the word is Sophomore-phile. Oh wait -- that's just a euphemism for pedophile #-o

Does anyone remember when Filofaxes were a big thing?

Were the people who liked them "Filofaxophiles?" :-k

My favorite uses of -phile involve hydro- and electro- and vodka-, so I think it's not something as specific as the other latinizations. I think the semantics of this one are too vague to be meaningfully discussed.

Since "semantics" MEANS "meaning", I have no idea of what you are talking about.
Sorry, it really annoys me when people say "Oh, thats just semantics" when they clearly HAVE NO IDEA what the word means :twisted:

Sorry to pull you up on this one suggs, but clearly he had an idea of what he was talking about, but that does not mean to say he was correct.

I'll forgive you this semantical slip.

Damn you you Commie bastard. Prob a student slacker as well

Yeah fair point. It was the phrase "the semantics of this are to vague to be discussed" that annoyed me.
Because, the meaning of paedophile IS ABSOLUTELY CLEAR- it means child lover.
So how the semantics of that is vague...GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

The meaning of -phile is what I was referring to, sir. So calm the hell down.
