Smirting? Nein Danke
Now that smoking has become an outdoor activity (the intermediary stage before a total ban on public smoking, mark my words), a supposed 'new phenomenon' has been observed/invented by some bright spark desperately looking for an angle, and a truly dreadful portmanteau word invented to describe it. Why not floking? How about some more useful portmanteau words? Droking (drinking and smoking), smeating (smoking and eating), sminking (smoking and thinking), dralking (drinking and talking), smalking (smoking and walking), drogging (drinking and blogging)....

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Smirting is one of the few things that's made me appreciate the ban.

ReplyDeleteNige, I'm hopeless at portmanteau words, but if you insist: 'dietuffering'.
smogging - what follows a successful smirt.

ReplyDeleteWhy not? Clearly because smokers and drinkers are incapable of multitasking... apart from sminking of course.
