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!!!
