Audiophile
"one who pays too much for speaker cables"
A true audiophile can tell the difference between when its wound clockwise vs anticlockwise. /s
also see: rube.
I always refer to myself as “a bit of an audiophile” because I went and researched a ton to get a particular amp and not your typical Sony speakers/ soundbar. And I just have particular interest in nice sound reproduction.
But my speaker cables are just about as cheap as you can get.
Mine are the remnants of a vacuum cleaner power cord. There's a lot of copper there, and a lot of rubber between them.
Botanophile... my question is, what the average user who does not know the word or can guess it, will think of it. There is not doubt that it is not a sexual suffix, but if the reader does not recognize it, would they think it was?
Just go with Botanyphile. With perhaps a very brief explanation in the Forward.
That you like IRC bots.
