Pronoun collector, or pronoun hoarder, refers to an individual who uses many sets of pronouns. When one sees a new set of pronouns and feels like they fit, they will start using them. Soon their list of pronouns will become very long. A pronoun collector does not have to use all the pronoun sets they hear about. Pronoun collectors may sometimes feel like their pronouns are like a collection.
One may collect nounself pronouns, non-themed and/or other neopronouns and may or may not use exipronouns ("traditional" pronouns).
Anyone who collects pronouns may identify as a pronoun collector, while pronoun hoarder is a term often considered exclusive to those who view their pronoun collecting as a form of hoarding.
Similar terms include turkeyhoarder, falconhoarder, and multipronominal.
