Peter Jennings died on Monday...I didn't see this anywhere!!!

*sigh* I've either got to pay more attention to the news (read: I've got to actually watch/listen to some) or I've got to plug CNN in intravenously or I'll miss things like this...

Sad to see such a great journalist go. He was one of the better ones.

The latest Oxford English Dictionary has been revealed and supposedly lists 150 ways to insult someone (including my favorite one, "chucklehead")...WOOT!

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/08/11/dictionary.words.reut/index.html

Part of the story mentions words that are actually mixes of two words into one (charity+mugger (e.g., street person looking for a hand out)="chugger", labrador+poodle=labradoodle), and it got me thinking: post your own mutations (real or made up) here that you like to use or would like to see used in current slang. I'm very curious to see what we can come up with.

Post away, kiddies!
