Conjoined Forms

A Conjoined Form is a succesful effort to combine two or more forms, as rigorously as possible. To encourage this sort of perversion, we're identifying as Metaforms those forms that strike us as good candidates.

We feel new forms created by combining two or more forms, executing both perfectly at once, deserve special names made from combining the names of the original forms in a Portmanteau Word.
