- We ended up splitting about 20 bottles of wine, I think. We called it Puke-stravaganza.
pukestravaganza
noun; blending and clipping
a party that ends with mass vomiting Originally, this was the proper name for a specific event, namely, a party with a too-large wine:person ration; but it could be extended effectively to cover a range of festivities, especially at college.
Etymology : Clipping/blending: puke + [ex]+s+ travaganza. Orthographically, the ending /k/ of puke and beginning /s/ of stravaganza combine to approximate the sound of /x/, making it a blend more than simply a compound
