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?

Portmanteau words are very useful. "I've sharted my shitie/treggings" (delete as applicable) is compact yet evocative.

people who use these words (apart from jeggings which is very sensible ) are probably the same people who have labradoodles or cockapoos

I once read a magazine article about "skops" - skirts combined with tops. Aka dresses!

Oh OP you’d hate me as I Portman-whatever (never heard of the word before!) so many words in my every day life. I love jeggings and treggings and often make my kids a hamwich or a jamwich. Like a PP I have many couple friends with brilliant smooshed name names. Language is awesome.

Now potatopia I can understand it if it's a skirt and top sort of sown together so they look like separate things ifswim? But if it's literally just a dress then that's plain silly.

I lived in a student house where a lot of Cofftea was drunk.

(for those that have never walked the ragged edges of civilisation as I have, it's a beverage made with instant coffee and a teabag in the same mug)

I've only heard of jeggings, the others made me laugh out loud!

Oh Sniv that sounds awful. Was there any particular reason for drinking that?!

My cousin and I mixed a can of coke with a can of lemonade when we were about 7 or 8. Tasted quite nice, cokalade.

Cofftea? No. I can’t even... If my tea cup has been used for coffee before, I can detect it straight away.

Mandals is a personal favourite, for mens sandals. I love any attempt at inserting the word man into an item for men

When I was slim enough to wear cropped tops instead of steel-reinforced bras, my then partner named them brests (bra + vest).

Mandigans. Those twee cardigans made for men, usually near Christmas, knitted with a few chunky buttons at the front and a strip of pattern across the mid section and arms.

I love my sheets of satin.... my shat-ins.

Yes, my DH can rock a mandigan, for sure.

Was there ever a word for David Beckham’s man-sarong?

Sir-ong?

I love any attempt at inserting the word man into an item for men

I meanly go on about DH's mansturiser. AKA dry skin lotion.

Shitie 🤣

Can also be used when you shit on your nightie.

When my dad does my son's lunch he makes him a 'gromelette' (grandad's omelette). Another one of my faves

Mantrum. I know it's not clothes but it is a portmanteau I enjoy using.

Shitie

😂

SinkGirl, so-wrong 😂 (he did look cute, though!)

When ever I see shoe-boot or shoobootie... I always hear Prince singing “Shooooboootay!”
Imagine a much cooler version of MJ’s “Sham-Oh!”. If you will...

We do this a lot. My personal favourite is what ds2 (10) calls it when I make burgers: "Mum, are we having Mumdonalds tonight?"

I have no contribution but this thread has made me smile this morning. Thank you

Me too. This has made me laugh out loud, especially the "shitie"!

Duffin - delicious in spite of their silly name.
