D'you remember when we had small phones and big tablets? Then we had big phones inbetwix 'em, and called 'em "phablets"? Now we just have big phones and a small number of even bigger tablets. Sad times.
I still remember The Reg regularly calling tablets "fondleslabs" (although that's not strictly a portmanteau).
C*ntard is pleasingly offensive, and is often deployed when describing some of my more irritating stakeholders. I had a Dell Streak 5 about 12 years ago. Everyone thought I was insane carrying a "phablet" around, with a whopping 5" screen. I preferred "trendsetter", but it took a few years for everyone else to come around!
TWUNT is a hard one to beat, especially with websites like this (it has to be a joke, right?): https://twukulele.com/
Wow, was 5” really phablet territory? I’m not sure there’s a single general purpose smartphone available today that’s 5”… I do still have a 3.2” HTC Magic and in spite of seeming very normal at the time, it really is comically small today. “Jackwagon” is a personal favourite of mine, but now on checking I’m not sure it’s technically a portmanteau. Also TIL, “Velcro” is a portmanteau of velours crochet (velvet hook).
It was when we didn't have razor-thin bezels or curved wrap-around displays. I had a Dell Streak 5 once, and that was considered a monster for its time.
Yeah I learned about this recently, and... just... Well, whatever floats your boat. It's probably harmless, so if it makes you feel better then go for it...
Or, you know, crack open a can of tuna for a more or less authentic fragrance, if there isn't an amenable vag handy.
I think i originally saw it in a PC Pro or Computer Shopper column... article... thingy... but... Custard... Customer + ... well wou can probably guess the second half...
Well, since we're heading for the gutter anyway: Bunt. n. For when on a more portly lady, you can't tell where the belly ends and the other begins. See also cankle.
