misc portmanteaux

here are some portmanteaux that i coined that have yet to catch on (and probably never will).

  • purpletrator: (purple prose + perpetrator) one guilty of writing overly flowery prose.
  • gratuitesque: (gratuitous + grotesque) unnecessary to the point of obscenity.
  • farticle: (fart + particle) the physical (ie. aerosolized) component of one’s flatulence.
  • trashure: (trash + treasure) an object worthless to one and valuable to another.
