Okay, by popular demand, I will drop some more nifty neologisms lifted 
from the X-actophiliac's handbook:


X-ACTOPHILIA--- the unhealthy desire to slice up old magazines into 
collaged and/or montaged ribbons.

X-ACTOMANIAC-- an x-actophiliac run amok; an x-actophiliac using two or 
more x-acto knive simultaneously.

X-ACTOPHOBIA-- fear of losing portions of one's fingers due to careless 
x-acto knifing while under significant time pressure or deadline.

X-ACTOTUM--  The official  dispenser of fresh x-acto blades in a 
professional x-actorial studio.

X-ACTERIOR-- the interior, uncut away portion of an x-actoed stencil 
design.

X-ACTORCISM-- The cutting away of demons or unholy spirits using 
specially blessed x-acto blades.

X-ACTOR'S EQUITY-- The largest professional union representing 
commercial x-acto knifers in North America.

X-ACTISTENTIALISM-- a humanistic philosophical theory which expresses 
the individual's intense awareness of of the blade's cutting tip.

DIS-X-ACTOALIZATION-- The state of being too drunk or stoned to cut a 
straight line with an x-acto knife.

HYPERDIS-X-ACTOALIZATION-- The state of being too drunk or stoned to 
even hold an x-acto knife.


(Please don't ask why I am taking time off from my cutting to write 
this.)
