Word History
The Combo
chopped doppelganger Choppleganger
lend of CHOPPED (slang, of a person: unattractive, rough-looking, "cooked") + DOPPELGÄNGER (German Doppel "double" + Gänger "goer, walker"), with the medial syllables collapsed so that the second element supplies its own ending. The base form spawns an extended family by suffixal accretion: -gang (a hanging-out collective) yields CHOPPLEGANGGANG, and a further -topple (an act of knocking over) yields CHOPPLEGANGGANGTOPPLE.
