Dejadrift:    A post that appears to be fresh and new, but is simply a rehashing of a previous theme with just enough new material to fool the casual reader.

 Portmanteau 

Compound word form. Derived from portmanteau luggage, which has two compartments. Such a word generally combines both sounds and meanings, as in smog, blending smoke and fog. The word "portmanteau" was first used in this context by Lewis Carroll in the book Through the Looking-Glass (1871), in which Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice the coinage of the unusual words in Jabberwocky, where "slithy" means "lithe and slimy" and "mimsy" is "flimsy and miserable". Humpty Dumpty explains the practice of combining words in various ways by telling Alice,

'You see it's like a portmanteau-- there are two meanings packed up into one word.'

Galumphing
After slaying the terrible Jabberwock, the boy in Lewis Carrol’s poem “left it dead, and with its head / he went galumphing back.” It’s thought to be a combination of the words “gallop” and “triumphant”. However, modern-day usage is different: picture the gait of a grumpy teenager, perhaps; how you might walk if you were dragging a giant jabberwock’s head.

Oh Pooh, do you think it's a-a-a ?

The two most-feared predators in the Winnie-the-Pooh stories are Heffalumps and Woozles.  Although Oxford Dictionaries define ‘heffalump’ to mean ‘a child’s word for “elephant”’, there is not explicit reference to this in the books, rather, it is only through Ernest H. Shepard’s illustrations that we know this... (in The House at Pooh Corner, Piglet has a nightmare about a heffalump that Shepard depicts as an elephant).

In addition to protesting such compound words chairman and policeman, some "feminists" have removed man from the very word woman. ‘Womyn’ is a new alteration of the plural women, replacing –men with the nonce suffix –myn, appearing for the first time in 1975. Currently used by a politicized few, though 100 years from now may be a foundation for menmyn, replacing the etymological wyf ( woman being derived from wyf (wife) and man) with the current man to mean ‘adult male human’, while man reverts back to its original genderless state.  

Antioxidant, though not itself a portmanteau or neologism, it's the new  buzzword to shill blueberries, cranberries, and pomegranates with their oxygen-blocking qualities. (As if our bodies were supposed to have no access to oxygen?) 

But "CholestPrevent" is absurd. It's too long to be a good portmanteau, and rather than combining two nouns, it combines a noun with a verb. That's not a portmanteau, that's just a verb phrase that's missing a space.

I'm sure there's an actual word for a product that prevents the buildup of bad cholesterol, but it's probably seven syllables too long and is therefore a PortmanteauPreventitive 

Cromulent is from The Simpsons and it’s a nonsense word to describe another one.   As two teachers stand at the back of the auditorium, someone recites Springfield’s motto: "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man."

Teacher 1: Embiggens? I never heard that word before I moved to Springfield.

Teacher 2: I don’t know why. It’s a perfectly cromulent word.

The Spork

 The media feeds on new coinages:  “Obamacare,” “WikiLeaks,” ( Wikipedia for that matter)  “lamestream,”  “sexting,” and I loved when George W. Bush's addled brain couldn't decide between “miscalculated”  and “underestimated”, so he “misunderestimated”.

Similarly, Sarah Palin’s famous  “refudiate”.  And let's not forget All the _______-aholics.  Workaholics, chocoholics, shopaholics et.al. 

And no need anymore to choose your fowl broiled or roasted, cause you can have it Broasted. 

A Puggle.  Pug + Beagle

Is a Boxer/Labrador a Blab?

Chihuahua/Dachshund  a "Chiweenie?" 

...and we all know that the Bull Dog/Shih Tzu mix is a BullShit.

And one more. Blog.
