A dictionary/glossary/lexicon as sort of a cosmic, meeting of the minds, collaboration of the likes of Dan Webster, Sam Johnson, Ambrose Bierce, Hunter S. Thompson, Wm. F. Buckley, Grouch Marx, W. C. Fields and many more... even though its editors are obscure unknowns with dreadfully dangerous senses of humor.

Mannpoon

Mannpoon: (Here we go again...) This time, its the tainted, tawdry, tragic and troubled portmanteau of Manny Ramirez and lampoon as witnessed on "Manny Takes an Asterisk" on Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC (last night, Thursday, May 7, 2009). Definition: The deliberate lampooning of and while reporting on a major sporting/ professional figure mired in some new and unfortunate controversy. Reference: Manny tests positive, is suspended 50 games.

The folks at MSNBC seem to have a great talent (or procilivity) for this sort of thing, see also: Kenpoon.
