And in addition to this interview, an oniomaniac has nothing to do with vegetables, or at least doesn’t usually. An oniomaniac doesn’t crave French Onion Soup, but rather has a compulsive disorder in which they want to buy a lot of stuff (usually useless but aesthetically pleasing or part of current trends – see also designer shoes, and this utterly stupid obsession with cellular phones) and it leads to harm. It’s cutely dressed up as “shopaholic” but that’s a load of malarkey. Anyone THAT fulfilled by buying shoes or a phone has problems – and besides, you buy new ones anyway and a bunch of suits are getting rich off people’s ILLNESS – that isn’t cute. An oniomanic has a disease that leads to loan lenders, misery, and debt.
