Combining/Manipulating Words


I've noticed lately, that the news people have been combining and manipulating words to form new words for their reports. I thought that sort of thing was only used by fiction writers. Words like...

Sharting - When you thought you were only going to fart, but ended up sh%ting in your pants.

Bromance - Two platonic guy friends hanging out.

Manstrating - The monthly male cycle.

Just this week I heard words like this on the radio during the news report. Words like...

E-lationship - A relationship that exists solely through emails

Hacktivist - An activist who shows his displeasure by hacking into websites.

Can you think of any others. I find these words fascinating!!!
