Do you have any real-world quotations for this? All I can find are a few mentions on Usenet for "Frankenstein computer" (one assembled from miscellaneous parts). If you can't meet WT:CFI, it will be deleted, or moved to WT:LOP which is for made-up words. Equinox ◑ 14:53, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes I do.

Here is one link and quote:

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

The 2009 SXSW Interactive Panel Picker (that’s a mouthful) is now available for the public to help voice picks to the selection committee. Viget Labs, the company I work for, has 9 juicy topics ripe for the pickins. I’m hoping to seat a panel to talk about the pre-composition phase of design looking most specifically at web design. The title is “Design Appetizers: The Pre-Composition Phase of Design“. Pre-composition could include design practices like sketching, wireframing, grayboxing, moodboarding, etc. You know… its what you design before you design. Everyone has their own rituals. The hope is to figure out which resonate best with clients both internal and external who may have been expecting a design that looks complete at the onset. As we know, jumping straight to a final composition can often lead directly to the Frankencomp freeway, a treacherous route.

Here is another line and the quote:

Frankencomp by Holly Brinkman with Sandstorm Design noun, When a client decides to take elements from two or more design concepts and combine them into one.

And, I have a last quote from my marketing client whose name I'll not disclose (yet) but can once I have permission: "We don't want to have to frankencomp that together. It would be better to shoot it (referring to a photograph)." -Mark C.

It's advertising lingo.

 * Thanks. This is fairly promising. But we need something meeting the conditions listed at WT:CFI, or we would end up adding every short-lived protologism that was invented. Equinox ◑ 23:06, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
