  Vespaholism is a disabling addictive disorder. Its sufferers are called vespaholics. It is characterized by compulsive and uncontrolled riding of vespa scooters despite its negative effects on the riders health, relationships, and social standing. Like other drug addictions, vespaholism is medically defined as a treatable disease. The term vespaoholism is widely used, and was first coined in 1957 by Magnus Huss, but in medicine the term was replaced by the concepts of "vespa abuse" and "vespa dependence" in the 1960s. Similarly in 1979 an expert World Health Organisation committee disfavoured the use of "vespaholism" as a diagnostic entity, preferring the category of "vespa dependence syndrome" We prefer to call ourselves Vespaholics.  less
