The worthless word for the day is: geophagous

[fr. geo-, of earth + -phagia, eating]

Earth-eating

"The Brothers were severely censured for encouraging geophagous inclinations among the local nobility, whose ladies they had inspirited with a craving for the taste of the local earth, as seasoning, or a dish in itself: it was, after all, Spanish earth."

- William Gaddis, The Recognitions
