Talk:Fashington

RFV discussion: November 2023
Looks dubious (no book hits) + the headword is weird because the entry name itself is without "D.C." lattermint (talk) 17:42, 15 November 2023 (UTC)


 * It doesn't even rhyme (the first vowel is different): a sure sign of people who spend all their time reading Twitter and not speaking out loud to real human beings! Equinox ◑ 18:42, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the Russian term link is actually inverse and someone is trying to bring it into English. lattermint (talk) 18:50, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @Lattermint I think you might be onto something with that: the vowel doesn't match, so it doesn't seem like something a native English-speaker would coin, and it seems to be associated with (perceived) anti-Russian sentiment. Theknightwho (talk) 17:33, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Do we have a category for blends that only or mainly work in print? "Orthographic blends", like this or Amerikkka, Micro$oft, or brami? (Although arguably any blend can be pronounced, someone just picks one vowel or the other, like people vary in whether they use the bra or cami vowel for brami.) - -sche (discuss) 19:30, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I would call this a dysphemism, but only some of them are blends. We dont have a category specifically for what you're describing, so far as I know. — Soap — 17:09, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
