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 ????? (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.

Posted by Scimitar on October 19, 2007, 06:51 PM | # I have coined ‘discourse poisoning’ and ‘race anarchy’. ‘Genophilia’ has no charge at the moment. It will have to be built up. 6

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’. 7

I’m sorry but I don’t think I could use that word and keep a straight face. Even knowing it’s component words can’t stop me from thinking it sounds like some sort of medical condition.
