Word History

The Combo

word combo poetry Womboetry

oined by Professor Sendy as a blend of WORD + COMBO + POETRY, formed by extending the established term *wombo* (itself WORD + COMBO) with the tail of *poetry*. Where an ordinary wombo fuses two terms into a single comprehensible coinage, womboetry escalates the practice into a string of unrelated, individually-intelligible words assembled with poetic abandon and no governing sense.
