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?

Never head of shacket. Is it a cross between a shed and jacket?

A little interesting fact...it was Lewis Carrol who crested the first portmanteau in Alice in Wonderland.

skousers 1999 ish IIRC?

I rocked that look. I was 21 and awesome.

Socktopus

@MaggieFS I think Lewis Carrol was responsible - his were much better than shacket though!

I thought everyone called the sock hanger thing a socktopuss. Why wouldn't you?

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

I hate 'coatigan' not only the word but they are so bloody ugly.

Jeggings makes sense but none of the others do, they are just plain stupid, like a red lip or a black pump.

Shawligan.
But yes, YANB at all U.

Howling at shitie and shumper! 🤣

Dd has a drumper - I would call it a jumper-dress

I discovered recently that Americans call denim shorts “jorts”. I’m hoping that doesn’t spread to here.

I’m howling here.
Please stop or I shall wake the baby

I also hate “a strong lip”. As opposed to a weak one

Drumper sounds like a new trendy fish

I love the expression «portemanteau words» literally in French it means «clothes hook word» , it doesn’t make any sense, which makes it funny.
Sorry for my poor contribution to the thread...

apparently pancake is one.pan and cake!
and pokemon from the japanese brand pocket monsters

My eyes recently melted at 'Janties.' If they aren't a sodding portmanteau tipping point, I don't know what will be.

Ah, I call my socktopus an octopeg, I feel I have portmanteau'd it wrong all these years now.

Socktopus is a great word, I'm adopting it. My favourite portmanteau word is insinnuendo.

Oh my god I've never heard the word coatigan but I'm definitely going to use it 😂 that's a hilarious word

MustDust I’ve been calling mine a Sock Octopus. Two separate words! I’m a complete failure!

Shumper. Oh my god. that made my stomach go funny 😂. Divorce him PP!!

Loving the shitie though.

But janties. Just no.

Not a piece of clothing.....but if anyone uses the word chillax in my company they are putting themselves in severe danger 😅😅😅

Someone mentioned words being used as verbs....when people use the word glitter as a verb it gives me the rage. You do not “glitter a glass” you “apply glitter to a glass”. God it’s annoying!!!

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

Please say this isn't true!

Shawligan is a new one on me, but I feel like I need one.

It's spread to food now too, cronut for example. There's a few others, maybe a cruffin or have I just made that up?!

Oh or is it a cronuffin?!
