Are you infatuated with shoes? Or do you prefer wearing hats? We all have our secrete obsession, but did you know that some of them actually have a name?
Stamp and coin collectors, please step aside and give fashion victims some room. Here are some of the strange labels used to describe different types of guilty pleasures.
Shopaholic
If you are a compulsive shopper who will stop at nothing to go buy new things –and who is incapable of entering a shop without making a purchase– then you might just be a shopaholic!
Cravatologist
Are you –or your husband– completely obsessed with neckties? Do you keep acquiring more and more, and neatly store them all together? You’re a cravatologist.
Brolliologist
Unless you live in England, there is no reason for you to own more than 5 umbrellas (and we’re being quite generous). If you specifically go on shopping sprees to go find some funky new ones, then you’re a brolliologist.
Pernalogist
Do you disagree with “diamonds are a girl’s best friend” and instead go for pearls? Would you travel oceans to obtain some new ones even though you already have so many? If so, you should be nicknamed a pernalogist.

Sneakerhead
This one may apply to most of you – it certainly concerns us! If you are a complete shoe-addict and have more pairs than you could ever wear, then lady, you’re a sneakerhead!
Copoclephile
We all own a pair of keys – meaning that we also all have a nice little key ring attached to it. But do you happen to have more than just one? Do you have a whole drawer stacked with them? You little copoclephile…
Horologist
It’s time for our last one, and this one is actually all about time. If you possess an endless amount of watches but are still always on the lookout for more, then you may just be a horologist.
