Things I bet you never knew #8475

Beer mat collecting is called tegestology.

See http://www.britishbeermats.org.uk/

Some people might be rude at this point, but I'm a Dr Who fan and I live in a glass house.

UPDATE: Wikipedia reports that "There are many subcategories of tegestologists, including those who are solely interested in porcelain or other specific kinds of beermats." These are presumably ceramotegestologists.

  1. Yeah, I knew that. (No, I didn't really). How do you suppose tegestologists feel about ex-smokers who shred beer mats as a way of trying not to relight the butts someone left in the ashtray?

  2. You mean, exfumary tegestoloclasts?
