To hate 'portmanteau' words for clothes?

[MyGastIsFlabbered]

Jegging
Tregging
Coatigan
Shacket

Etc. I don't know why they bother me so much but they make me wince. Anyone else?

I’ve only ever heard of jeggings - the others found hilarious! I don’t mind jeggings as that describes them quite well

What about shoe-boots?

YANBU OP. I remember when skousers were in fashion

YABU, coatigan is one of my favourite words

They are a bit irritating. Also staycation.

If only hate shoe-boots if they were called shoots or boes

Oh and skorts too

Really @Myusernameismud...you need to get out more

I love portmanteau words! I have an eight legged thingy for drying underwear etc. I call it the soc(k)topus

I'll concede that shacket is stupid and treggings is really pushing it. But I just like saying coatigan. Don't even own one

Oh yes code monkey I love my socktopus!

codemonkey I’m stealing that!y kids will love that nickname for it 😁 x

OTOH, I like skorts

Tregging and jegging make me snigger for some reason. Off on a bit of a tangent, I can't get enough of "trouser" used as a verb. I want to trouser things! I dislike other nouns given the verb treatment, especially partying.

I own several 'coatigans' they're just thick long cardigans aren't they?

Not a portmanteau, but I hate it when people say 'co-ords' for top and bottoms of the same pattern.

It annoys me so much.

I'm intrigued by a socktopus.

How does one 'trouser'?

Jorts is my fave! Britney Spears is the personification of this word.

Trousering is easy! You just put something in your pocket.

Skousers must be due a come back...

But I have dresses with pockets...if I use them am I still trousering? I obviously have a lot to learn about fashion in general.

I'm proud to say I never owned skousers

Oh we used to just call those 'trouser skirts'. God they were awful.

I really hate when people say shit like 'team your skinny jeans with a wedge shoe and strong lip'. Just one wedge shoe? And one strong lip? Also hate 'co-ords' as a PP mentioned.

What's a shacket?

Hadn’t heard of shacket (I cant even work out what this is) but YANBU. DDs friend told me the other day she was wearing Dungashorts. Which doesn’t even make sense.

I have several long thick cardigans too.

I haven't heard of any of them other than jegging.

But socktopus is great! and may find its way into our name for laundry drying equipment
