> Word munging is uncommon in English. When a new word is coined it is mostly atomic (app, tweet, selfie). You rarely can take two existing words and combine them with a prefix, a suffix, an ending and get a new word that is grammatically correct. Prequel. Tweetstorm. Brexit. Clusterfuck. Omnishambles. Freegan. Romcom. Stagflation. > Or “defenestrate” when you mean “toss out the window”? The word usually appears in its noun form, defenestration, for which there isn’t really a handy alternative. You can’t really talk about The Throwing-out-of-the-Window of Prague when discussing the Thirty Years’ War, for example. > “dick off the dicks over the dick and re-dick them dickwards” is close but not close enough “The fucking fucker’s fucking fucked” is perfectly grammatical and comprehensible English, if somewhat colloquial. |
