habitue \huh-BICH-oo-ay; huh-bich-oo-AY\ , noun:
One who habitually frequents a place.
e.g.
Here you will meet Disco Bean . . . , a 70s dance-club habitue who spends his days in an empty warehouse polishing his Latin hustle moves and pretending it's still 1978 and he's the next John Travolta.
-- Stephen Holden, "The Search for One-Eye Jimmy", New York Times, June 21, 1996
Or as one jaded habitue of El Casbah observes when an unfamiliar face appears in the club: "She's new to cafe society."
-- Stephen Holden, "Cafe Society", New York Times, July 18, 1997
Fascinating.... :face-thinks: Not sure what it's got to do with the Neolithic though - are we talking flesh-pits here?
