    Give me a chance. I don't live on Boards. ;

    I don't know.

    Tricho refers to hair and ptilosis is used in ornithology to mean an arrangement of feathers. Balding, perhaps?? Or a feather head. :)

    That's your big head (all those brains needs a suitable vessel) - for your thinking cap, I suggest going up a size. :)

    Purely from onycho being nails and phagia relates to eating I assume biting nails, but I'd never heard the term before.
