caplicate

To remove a portion from a word or sequence of words, leaving the before and after, to make a word.
You can remove any portion as long as a beginning and end remains, but generally the beginning part is just the first consonant cluster and a good portion of the last word is used for the end.
All words besides the first and last in a sequence of words creating a caplication are discarded.

The word is autological—it comes from the caplication of "cap applicator" to "caplicator", which was originally used at 1:39 in the YouTube video "Wow! I'm hungry!" by DaThings.

It differs from portmanteau because not all portmanteaus are caplications (portmanteaus can blend the words however they like), and not all caplications are portmanteaus (caplications often do not attempt to create any new meaning, whereas a portmanteau has to have a meaning blended from the words that made it). That said, most portmanteaus are caplications.
"Liquid argon" can be caplicated to "largon".
"There is a cat in my house" can be caplicated to "thy house".

Capiservalism

A phenomenon observed in the realm of server popularity, wherein servers gain prominence solely due to their association with a popular theme, while more innovative or original servers remain relatively obscure or unnoticed.
Capiservalism highlights the tendency for servers to rise in popularity not necessarily due to their unique features or content, but rather due to their alignment with prevailing trends or themes within a particular community or demographic. This term underscores the disparity between servers based on thematic appeal versus those distinguished by their originality or creativity.
