A taradiddle is a little fib that's more amusing than harmful. Kids, storytellers, and gossipers all have their share of taradiddles. The word's whimsical sound hints that even deceit can be playful sometimes.
Example: The child told a small taradiddle when asked if he ate the ice cream.
Infomania describes an intense craving for knowledge, or just for staying constantly updated. It might start with a single search and spiral into hours of research. Curiosity is healthy, but infomania can blur the line between interest and obsession.
Example: The professor's infomania caused him to stay up late reading articles instead of sleeping.
