Portmanteaus

And now a special guest presentation from long-time Kutenist and hustler Spencer McBride, a sequence of Portmanteaus in A-Minor:


The Rube Goldberg Variations – This famous early 20th century work of art by the well-known interpreter of the composer of cartoons Ruben Bach, Glenda Gouldberg, evolves the sublime mechanical and mathematical functions of Bach’s innovative scribbling’s, reinvigorating the way the boot hits the fishbowl in front of the cat on a treadmill with a pointed message rarely seen in other interpretations.

Necronomeconomics – This will one day refer to the economy, once the Zombapocalypse has occurred.  There will of course be different interpretations, the most famous of which will be Keynesian  Necronomeconomics, upheld by the walking corpse of John Maynard Keynes, and Friedman Necronomeconomics, upheld by a man literally fried to death on an exposed wire.  Alternatively, this term can be used to refer to how much money you can make off of nerds by referencing Zombies in literally anything. 

Encyclopedophile – Someone who really likes Encyclopedias!  Likes them so much, in fact, that they play around with them a bit too much, traumatizing and altering the essentials of their constituent parts to such a radical degree that their insides, both intellectual and physical, would be unrecognizable to anyone who thought they knew the definitions before.

Supervisorry – someone who works in a supervisorry capacity is constantly apoplectically apologetic for doing so.  Their orders are perpetually accompanied by elaborate apologias and requests that you only do what they say if you really really feel like it and don’t wish to lose your job.  The defining feature of a Supervisorry manager is their misconception that their phrasing of “I’m really sorry, but could you please stay late today and finish _____,” is an attitude consistent with buddy-buddy friendship and a desire to not break the social contract of equality, rather than simply being incredibly fucking patronizing and annoying.
