Triple portmanteaus

Nazi = National Nocialist

Edit:

Actually a dubious portmanteau, I grant you that. :cool:

It’s hilarious that you edited that but still left “Nocialist” instead of “Socialist”. :wink:

I see where the unexpected fanbase of MY LITTLE PONY, who portmanteau themselves as “bronies”, has a well-attended convention called “BronyCon”.

:smack: :o

Remember when Tiger Woods responded to Oprah by describing himself as Cablinasian: part Caucasian, part Black, part Indian, part Asian?

More of an acronym than a portmanteau. But how about the Manhattan neighborhoods of Tribeca (for Triangle Below Canal Street) and Nolita (for North of Little Italy)?

turducken has a turd in it?

Blech.

At least a couple New York City neighborhoods qualify, most notably Tribeca, from “Triangle Below Canal”.

From Wiki:

a backronym country name, and Baluchistan is the first season Professor and Mary Ann of it, since “-stan” means “land of the”

How about the Delmarva Peninsula?

Damn, I swear your post wasn’t there when I posted. Sorry…

FTR, it used to be that the Shanghai cuisine restaurants were clustered on Bayard in Chinatown, south of Nolita and predating it by a century.

Pffft.

In Brooklyn, “BoCoCa” for Boerum Hill/Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens, not that anyone actually says the word.

Pfft

I lived in NYC for a while and worked in Lower Manhattan. I sorta recall Bayard Street, although that’s not what inspired my user name.

My hometown of Texarkana: TEXas, ARKansas, and louisiANA.

How about celebutard?

A chicken stuffed into a duck stuffed into a turkey.

In the Moskitia region of Honduras, there are about ten new “territorial councils” – sort of a combination of counties and Indian reservations. Each is named like “Pakistan”: triple, quadruple, and even quintuple portmanteaus of existing villages and other geographical features, usually ending in “-asta,” which means “organization” in Miskitu (IIRC).
Examples are “Katainasta” and “Wamicliniasta”.

Wiki sez COINTELPRO “(for COunter INTELligence PROgram) was a series of covert, and at times illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveying, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic political organizations … operations under the official COINTELPRO label took place between 1956 and 1971. COINTELPRO tactics are still used to this day, and have been alleged to include discrediting targets through psychological warfare; smearing individuals and groups using forged documents and by planting false reports in the media; harassment; wrongful imprisonment; and illegal violence, including assassination.”
