Word History

The Combo

goat peanemis Goatpeanemis

compound of GOAT (acronym, "Greatest Of All Time") + peanemis. The first element fuses the four words Greatest + Of + All + Time, while the second element, peanemis, is itself a prior Sendy compound of Peak + Cinema + Analysis, denoting elite film criticism at its highest pitch. The seam between the two is elided so that the terminal -t of "Time" runs straight into "peanemis," yielding Goatpeanemis. Compare the related back-of-house form Behindthesceanemis (Behind + the + scenes + peanemis).
