Word of the Week: Arctophile

Happy holidays!

And, in the spirit of the season, the word for this week relates to teddy bears.

Arctophile (noun)

A person who collects or is very fond of teddy bears

"Jamal's wife looked on the verge of tears when Phil, the world-renound arctophile, scoffed at the vintage 1930's Chiltern growler she had given him."

I pulled the bear's specs from this eBay auction.
