Three new words: manopause, hellacious, faffage
I recently posted a note on three of my favourite new (or, new to me) words on the Made by Many blog. Here’s an excerpt:
“The thing that really makes my head spin is the way language evolves. Even as I type this, old words are morphing and merging to send nifty little neologisms strutting out of our cultural soup of signifiers, all a-dazzle with tasty wordiness. Perhaps my favourite of these is the portmanteau, a linguistic mashup of two words and their meanings.”
