This is why we use a handy thing called “safe search”

If you don't know what an emetophiliac is, don't google for pictures. Just don't. #LFMF

    Aw, now I gotta!

  2. Shelly says:

    Haha, I googled it, but luckily not with pictures. I know which #LFMF you read.

  3. Kay says:

    *reads wikipedia entry on subject* Ew, ew, ew! WTF is wrong with people?

    • Purpleduck says:

      ^ This. If you value your eyeballs, Wikipedia or Urbandictionary are the only places to go when wondering what any “-philia” word means.

  4. TheBlindFreak says:

    Why would you run an image search before you ran a “define” web search?

    • CPT Hack Cubit says:

      That’s precisely what I was going to point out. Especially when it comes to philias: always ALWAYS look up the definition first, and you’ll probably never want to do an image search once you’ve done so.

      Morons.

    • Shipoopi says:

      because they didn’t

      they just wanted to make the front page

  5. coyoteman says:

    Let’s see…. “emet” probably means vomit, as in “emetic”, and “philiac” means to love. So this is someone who has a sexual fetish over vomit? Ugh!

  6. Rim of the sky says:

    o_o I know what it means just by reading it….

  7. ClariPossum says:

    I googled it, didn’t get any pictures in the results at all.

  8. O.O says:

    I googled it a while back due to another fail posted on here. No pictures, just definition;anything with a -philiac at the end is sure to be at least slightly odd.

    • me says:

      Except Haemophiliac which rather strangely comes from the Greek for blood and love ( the philia part). I can’t understand why really, seeing as it is a blood clotting disorder.

  9. K says:

    I know I’ll regret it, but I’m searching it up out of curiosity.

  10. K says:

    Alright, I’m going to be frank and say “that’s nasty”.

  11. Lytrigian says:

    OK, I won’t.

  12. Oz says:

    You know people only post these stupid submissions to get you to look it up. There’s no “LFMF” involved here.

  13. A guy says:

    Ever hear of “Urban Dictionary”?

  14. debcat76135 says:

    I hate you…. that is all.

  15. EmeraldHonora says:

    As an emetophobic, I know what the “emeto” means, and learning that there is actually a phillia… man. I’m so glad I knew what the root words mean, because otherwise I’d be curious and then I’d have nightmares for months.
    Guys, learning Latin and Greek-based roots is never a bad thing.
