Geoff sent me a link to this virtual linguist site, which I think is pretty cool. However, from it, I was interested in this UK usage of whinge-o-rama. I haven't heard it before. Have any of you? | ||

No. I have seen the '-orama' formation used fairly often, though. As the blog entry indicates that sort of construction is mainly used in nonce words. Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life. | |||

Well it was your own Boris Johnson who used the word. | |||

I saw that but old Boris is a Buffoon of the first order. "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | |||
