Thanked: 118Terminology ~ Apologies in advance!
Please allow me at the outset to say that no offense is implied or intended by this posting. It is offered as humor and a topic hoping to inspire grins, smiles and hopefully a few chuckles.
I offer the following terminology and definitions for use on the SRP forums.
NOTE!!!: If you find anything in here offensive save yourself! Stop reading and go to another posting! Don't finish this posting and post a reply that you are offended. If the Ops are offended they can remove the posting and smack my hand. That being said, ENJOY!!!
ADDICT
An undeniable compulsion or drive to collect. Sometimes only certain items (Razors, Hones, Strops, oils, lotions, creams, soaps, etc.) related to wet shaving, but can evolve to a broad spectrum disorder encompassing all areas of wet shaving. Unlike LABOR below this is common and usually satisfying. In fact most wet shavers are functional addicts!
However if the addiction begins to interfere with normal healthy social relationships (the SRP forums are NOT abnormal) professional counseling is highly recommended.
