#portmanteau

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

This evening's viewing: 1945 British flick Dead of Night, largely held to be the grandaddy of the "portmanteau" style of anthology #horror that Hammer and Amicus would use often in the 60s and 70s (also boasts an early "is the ventriloquist mad or the dummy alive?" story)

Unusual for the time, also unusual in being an Ealing production, better known for their comedies.

Today, thanks to YouTube comments, I learned this word.

Urban Dictionary: malding

When someone is expressing a large magnitude of rage, often over something relatively small, that the stress they are giving upon themselves causes their hair to fall out (thus, balding). Portemanteau of "mad" and "balding".

DAMMIT

I've been growing a ridiculous #mustache, and accidentally shaved off the handlebars on one side - slip of the hand while trimming with an electric clippers.

It's not savable. I have to cut it down and start over, can someone help me with the proper #portmanteau possibly combining "mustache" and "catastrophe"?

You do realize that the #portmanteau terminology for #FreeWebHosting came from inside the #MARCOM area as a Cross Industries CONGLOMERATE, that soon many DA's are taking to court in #AMER, fourty plus states wise, right, 💯🥴,
