You've probably realized that your Sparkitors and Sploggers are big fans of the portmanteau (that's Fancy Speak for word mash-ups). Around SparkLife HQ, creating new words is kind of a sport (sportmanteau). Our only other exercise during the winter consists of eye rolling and curling, so we've been playing extra long hours to keep our vocabularies in tip-top fighting shape. Do with these what you will...
A recap of existing Splash-ups (SparkLife mash-ups) for those of you just joining us:
Sparkitor = SparkLife + editor
Splogger = SparkLife + blogger
Mankler = man + Sparkler
Splurker = Sparklife + lurker (someone who furtively enjoys SparkLife without commenting or posting)
New Splash-ups for your consideration:
Splammer = Sparkler + BAM (a Sparkler who abuses the BAM)
Spardor = SparkLife + ardor (extreme love for SparkLife)
Snarkler = snark (snide + remark) + Sparkler (a Sparkler with acidic wit)
Sprokrastinate = SparkLife + procrastinate (to read SparkLife as a means of putting off actual work)
Commentroversy = comment + controversy (controversy in the comments)
Splote = SparkLife + post + vote (a SparkLife post that asks you to vote)
Auntitude = Auntie + attitude (Auntie's impatience with intolerance)
Marmaid = Marm + aid (essay help from Miss Marm, who may or may not be half fish, half really smart lady)
Stainiac = stain + brainiac (someone who is constantly reminding you how smart he/she is)
Blajamas = blogger + pajamas (the work uniform of a Splogger)
Any portmanteaux you'd like to toss into the ring?
