Just heard a new neologism on the radio.

Wasn't sure where else to put this, so I put it here.

The term was blazenly, and in the context of what he was saying I think it was a combo of blatantly and brazenly.

I don't think the speaker necessarily meant to create it, but I found it interesting.

Carry on

(Yes I know 'new neologism' is sort of redundant, but I don't care)

...used to come up with charming portmanteaux like that. "Stompled" (stomped/trampled) and "packlet" (package/booklet), etc...

The prictator sneerked as he directed his army to stomple the people's packlets.

It's probably not advisable to use that many in one sentence, though.
