two more entries in the portmanteau hall of shame (or, how marketers are destroying the world and western civilization one dictionary entry at a time

First things, the portmanteau. A combination of two words, for instance "stay" and "vacation," to create a third: "staycation." Usually created by marketing departments. Usually by marketing departments who think the sum of all corporate intelligence can be summed up by their hello kitty doll and/or supersoaker situated at the foot of their desks. And who can't think without sitting in a committee.

Well, we have two more entries.
Discuss. I need to poke a hot skewer through my ears.
