GenophiliaAn e-mail from wintermute:-
Well, never mind Fleming. This term seems to have been coined by Sir Francis Galton in 1883. It is from the Greek γένος (meaning birth, race, kind) and philia. It appeared once on Stormfront in 2003 (without any realisation of its linguistic potential), and was used by Fleming a year later in his essay The Morality of Everyday Life. That aside, I agree with wintermute that we should incorporate it into our discourse. But a poster to Conservative phora - someone who goes under the monicle Bede, has got there ahead of us. Good luck to him with it ... and to us all, actually.

Even knowing it’s component words can’t stop me from thinking it sounds like some sort of medical condition. Posted by Guessedworker on October 16, 2007, 11:32 PM | # And what about describing a supposedly genuine medical condition as ... obesogenic?

Posted by Scimitar on October 19, 2007, 10:51 PM | # I have coined ‘discourse poisoning’ and ‘race anarchy’. ‘Genophilia’ has no charge at the moment. It will have to be built up. Posted by Alex Fogerty on October 20, 2007, 02:23 AM | # I found this on Wiktionary, I have submitted it to Princeton University and to the Collins English Dictionary to see if they will add it to their dictionaries. Genophilia: Instinctive attachment to family and tribe A portion of my email to them: I have looked in your dictionary for the word ‘Genophilia’ with no success. I notice that the word was coined by Sir Francis Galton in 1883 to mean ‘Instinctive attachment to family and tribe’. The word itself is comprised by the greek word ‘genos’ which means ‘birth / race / kind’ and the greek word ‘philia’ which means ‘love of’. Posted by Proofreader on October 20, 2007, 09:44 PM | # Is there a chance they might consider its opposite: genophobia? “Hatred of kin and tribe”. Posted by Guessedworker on October 20, 2007, 10:06 PM | # Alex, It would be interesting to hear what they say. I guess, though, deliberations on inclusions are panel-based and extremely plodding! Posted by Alex Fogerty on October 23, 2007, 11:57 PM | # So far no reply. No real surprise there. Posted by Proofreader on October 24, 2007, 07:28 PM | # Newsflash!
