Infophagia

Here, read this list of words I learned from the article “The Woman Who Vomited Frogs,” which some trickster snuck into my Firefox favorites toolbar.

• pagophagia (ice eating)
• xylophagia (wooden toothpick eating)
• coniophagia (a lust for dust)
• geophagia (clay or dirt eating)
• amylophagia (the consumption of laundry starch and paste)
• coprophagia (feces eating)

Don't confuse that last one with "capraphagia," which would be goat eating. Oh, and the article is kind of interesting too.
