ersatz-read.livejournal.comcocovore (kō′kə-vôr) noun
One who eats only coconuts.
I ran across this word in an NPR article on August Engelhardt.
The cold of Wisconsin in January, on my first day back at work after a long vacation,
seems like the perfect time to reference a story about moving to a tropical island to start a nudist sun-worshipping cult.
Note: the Wikipedia article (mostly) spells it 'cocoivore'. So I did some searching on both spellings, as well as cocovorism/cocoivorism. I see more support for the spelling without the 'i', but possibly both are correct.
