Why this word is great
NEPHOPHILE — [Noun] Someone who loves clouds. From the Greek nephos ("cloud") and -phile ("lover"). Unlike a "meteorologist" (who studies atmospheric phenomena with clinical detachment) or a "skygazer" (who admires the heavens indiscriminately), a nephophile is devoted to the transient artistry of clouds alone. It is the way they pause mid-step to trace the slow unfurling of a cumulus, or press their cheek against a train window to watch cirrus filaments fray against the blue, or spend whole afternoons supine in grass, naming the shapes of stratocumulus as they drift—finding, in their ephemeral forms, a kind of kinship with all things fleeting.
