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?

DH drives me mad talking about his ‘Shumpers’ ( jumper with a shirt collar attached). I swear he’s made it up himself but he insists that it’s a real name. Nothing worse than walking round the Asda and he loudly announces that he’s off to see if they’ve got any new Shumpers in stock

Shacket = shirt/jacket.
Lightweight jacket. I wear mine all summer.
I don’t like when wimmin’s mags call jumpers “knits”.

DearLady team a chunky knit with a statement necklace and strong lip

I like to think of trousering as a state of mind, with metaphorical pockets .

Justin Bieber and WillIAm were fond of wearing the skouser a few years back.

Shumper!!

A socktopus is the name for the little dryer thingies though isn't it? Especially the Ikea ones that have eyes.

Shumpers are awful in both name and existence.

There's a word for a top and a skirt that when worn together look like a dress - dress-ord.

If you want skousers, watch Schitts Creek on Netflix and behold the wonder that is David Rose.

Oh no, Shumper is too much.

DS has form for creating portmanteau words. His latest was jam and marmalade mixed together, when there wasn't enough of either for a slice of toast. He called it Jamalade naturally.

I've never heard of Portmanteau (and had to check twice how to spell it!).

Heard of all the words though!

I like man-bag. Was there ever a word for David Beckham’s man-sarong? Feels like there should be...

Twofer- that’s a blazer style jacket with a weird shirt sewn in.

WHOAH - I thought a portmanteau was a suitcase or travel trunk? How does it become the name for fudged/melded words? (I'm so out of touch 🙁)

My dh and I combine couple names and refer to them by that name privately.

What have mates called Claire and Jake- they are now Clake.

shacket just makes me think shit jacket.

i also HATE when people say 'a trouser' or 'a jegging' or 'a jean' as the poster above says. you sound like 'a dick'.

I'm just going to put my shitie on (shirt style nightie).

Owl, like someone shat a jacket 😂

Shitie... I’m dying 😂

I almost bought a cardigown once.

I'm wearing my pyjacksuit. It's essentially a tracksuit that I wear to bed.

I've got a shitie too!

Portmanteau itself is a portmanteau word...from the french I believe...Porter (to carry) and manteau (mantle). It then became a word to describe words made up in the same way. Or something like that.

Shumper is dreadful

I do like shitie and socktopus though so maybe I'm a portmanteau convert?

dearlady yeah...ooh i like your coat!
thanks, i shat it out yesterday!

so maybe I'm a portmanteau convert?

A portmanvert, in other words?

This whole thread is going to give me nightmares.

Shitie though-
