The Institute for Vernacular Lexicography

About the Lexicon

A wombo is a word smashed into another word — a portmanteau in the vernacular tradition. The discipline was founded by Professor Sendy, who coins them, defines them, and stacks them with deadpan rigor. This is the first attempt to catalogue the canon in full — currently 628 entries.


How it's built

Every entry is drawn from Professor Sendy's own videos. The spelling of each headword is taken from the on-screen card (the authoritative source — speech alone mangles a coinage), and the meaning from what he actually says. Definitions are rewritten in a neutral dictionary register and credited to him; this is a tribute, not a monetized product.

The two tiers

Sendy original — a wombo that headlined its own video, defined in full.

Deep cut — a secondary coinage Sendy slipped into another video, confirmed on-screen. The deep cuts are where the lore lives.
