i stand corrected!

long-time readers know i usually refer to myself and fellow bccy habitueés as coffee lovers.

don schoenholdt of gillies has informed me that this phrase deeply offends his delicate professional nose. the true term, i am told, is coffeaphile.

don also objects to the french version of this, cofféaphiliste. he thinks it's just plain lame-o.

this puts us more in line with our pal clay gordon at chocophile; however, what then do we call us yoginis? yogaphiles?

the term panophile i suppose might cover bread; but what about pizza? pizzafiliste?

as for those of us who have the privilege of living in the chicest borough, brooklyn, and lovin' every moment of it, we prefer the term brooklynista to the coarser brooklynite.

brooklynista is just more euphonious, don't you all agree?
