Talk:echophilia

RFV discussion
Two things:


 * 1) Definition in the entry is unattestable.
 * 2) It's actually a term used to refer to a symptom in people with Tourettes. It refers to the compulsion to repeat what people do or say.

 * I don't know the field, but that seems so rare as perhaps to be an error: two books and under 200 Google Web matches (some of which are junk like people's online nicknames). I've heard of echolalia:, which seems to be what you describe. Equinox ◑ 17:04, 8 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I think echophilia reflects both echolalia and echokinesis. I am a Tourettes sufferer myself. Fortunately I have neither symptom! Jamesjiao → T ◊ C

RFV failed, entry deleted. (When the existing sense fails RFV, but I'm sure that there exists a sense that would pass, I frequently replace the definition with ; but in this case, I'm really not sure that the sense that Jamesjiao mentions would pass. Nonetheless, if you're reading this and think you can cite that sense, you should feel free to create the entry with it.) —Ruakh TALK 17:05, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
