Word History

The Combo

quiche loreain Quiche Loreain

compound wombo coined by Professor Sendy. The first element, quiche, is itself a blend of quirky + niche, denoting something offbeat and specialized; the second element, loreain, blends lore + explain, denoting the recounting of backstory. The full form puns on quiche Lorraine, the savory egg tart, with the homophonous loreain supplying a verbal sense. In its later use the term migrates from the act of explaining to the act of forcefully hurling, the egg-tart imagery lending itself to the notion of something being flung.
