Get the Compondo mug.Combination of two words, where the first letter(s) of the first word is joined with the second word minus it's first letter(s). Based on the "Portmanteau".
Subject to rules/preferences.
1) If the first word starts with a vowel, a compound word is not possible.
2) The user can include only the first letter of the first word, or a string of letters leading up to the first vowel of the first word.
Ex. Street + Nuts = Suts, Stuts, or Struts.
3) The user can include only the first letter of the second word, or a string of letters leading up to the first vowel of the second word.
Ex. Super + Glue = Sue, or Slue.
There are two main mutually exclusive categories.
A "Prodrome" is itself an existing word, but by sound, not spelling.
Ex. Tall + Boy = Toy.
Ex. Man + Juice = Muice (sounds like Moose, therefore a Prodrome).
Ex. Cell + Phone = Cone (a word by spelling, but not when pronounced with a soft "C", therefore not a Prodrome).
A "Callidrome" is itself not an existing word by sound, spelling is irrelevant.
Ex. Fucking + Cunt = Funt.
Ex. Small + Pear = Sear (a word by spelling, but not when pronounced to rhyme with pear, therefore a Callidrome).
There are 3 sub-categories, not necessarily mutually exclusive of each other.
A "Synondrome" sounds identical to the second word.
Ex. Dirty + Dick = Dick.
An "Antidrome" sounds identical to the first word.
Ex. Cock + Block = Cock.
A "Collidodrome" keeps the entire second word.
Ex. Fat + Ass = Fass.

Get the Compo face mug.colpo: A case or instance where someone posts false or erroneous information in articles or blogs on the internet. A fake, a phony.
Like "a Troll" but a troll posts junk on other people's chat boards, a colpo *owns* the site where they post the rubbish, thus they cannot be banned, also they may have gotten a dubious publisher or even home-published an entire book full of it. The difference is a 'phony colpo' uses fake scientific-looking studies & may even sport a phony BS or PhD college degree, but it's nearly all fraudulent. A "phony colpo" is a "Dr. IM Troll, B.S., RD, or PhD, Esquire"
It's often someone who is unqualified but purports to be knowledgeable on some topic such as health, nutrition, paleo, diets, crossfit or personal training and will cite skewed studies & then doctor them up convincingly in order to dupe the public.
It often involves using unscientific anecdotes, debunked hypotheses, and fringe conspiracy theories to help cover lies up when their incorrect information is exposed. For example, if you see excuses such as they are the 'only ones' who know this, or somebody like 'they' (whoever 'they' are), the government, or 'the mainstream', or big-something, are trying to 'hide the truth' from you, it's all an effort to get you to believe in their scheme. The crucial part is that they are posting fake information trumped up with lots of false yet 'scientific looking' articles and citing studies in order to appear scientific, but it's all false. A fraud.

Get the compose mug.the worst goddang class you will ever take where syntax is freaking everywhere and yet you still dont understand what it means. it tortures the mind and ruptures your soul by its never ending annotations on pointless readings that no one ever actually cares about.
Hey whatd you do in ap language and composition today?
We learned about the what alliteration, hyperbole, simile, metaphor, syntax, syllogism, and enthymeme were and how they effectively pertain to real life situations.
