whinge-o-rama
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.

Much like our new president...

Speaking of which, this is pretty funny.
