I have noticed that many people have cacoethes and some are very funnies. I think the more common is bit the nails. I don't have any cacoethes and never had. What about you?

Hi teka! My goodness, I have never even heard of this word before teka and I had to look it up in an online dictionary, lol. I don't know anybody that have cacoethes and I don't have any either. I even think harder if I have one, but can't come up with anything, lol. Have a nice day.

Hehehe, I had to look this one up too lol. OK, I guess my cacoethes would be looking up strange & unfamiliar words in the dictionary, and answering discussions that are fun and interesting. I don't have any other compulsions (that I can think of right off.)
