"Drivers are being urged to buy only the fuel they need as 600 tanker drivers stage a four-day strike. The drivers, who work for two companies delivering fuel to Shell forecourts in the UK, walked out at 0600 BST and have picketed a number of sites in the UK. Talks aimed at resolving the dispute ended without agreement when the Unite union rejected an improved pay offer." - 'Don't panic-buy' motorists urged, BBC website, 13 June 2008.
Good. All very good, sionnach! I did have the ending -nic in mind. But I've made it an open list so who knows where it will go?. Definitions would be good. And should be good! Good grief, I've just re-read this and you'd think I'd been out panic-buying goods!
Reminds me of Die Schopfling.

Wow! fbharjo, you've been on a major buying spree! Thanks for all the additions. I'll have to unwrap most of them later!
i'm using an -onic rule, just for kicks.
oops, nic not ic -- my bad, *sniff*
I'm following a -anic rule, just for my pleasure.
On further reflection, let's stick with the -nic ending.
On the list wordn't-you-just-know-it, sionnach said: "I guess there's also cathartic buying. And corybantic buying. chthonic, demonic, hedonic buying."
