revising my internal "best of pairing smooshes" list...

[ratcreature]

Up to now I've thought that "Snermione" was the most unfortunate smooshed pairing name I've seen "in the wild" (i.e. used by someone unironically just to name the pairing rather than in posts mocking the most hilarious potential name combinations), but I think I may have to revise this in light of having just seen "Spirk" on a story search. I'm not completely sure what I object to in particular, except that calling it "Kock" would be as easy to pronounce, even funnier and comply with the traditional K/S order. Seriously though, "Spirk"?!?

...I had not heard that one! I've heard Kock as a *joke*, but. Spirk. I can't decide if it would be better or worse if it was "Spork".

Spirk

I'll assume everyone passed on Spork? What about Kork?

Spirk, I have to say, makes me think of spunk - and not the Nancy Drew kind.

The only potential benefit I can see to this is that it could distinguish Reboot from TOS. (Does Reboot have a TLA yet? I kind of don't want to call it Star Trek: REB. I guess one might call it JJA.)

But, seriously, Spirk is terrible. Maybe it was a joke?

Wow. I've seen some pretty bad ones (and rather few good ones, really) but that really takes the case.

One word: LOGURT

Oh wonderful. I really hope the New Movie doesn't somehow make that common...

I'm holding out for "Spork".

I can't figure out if Snermione is worse than Snupin (which I keep mistyping as "Snupid" ... oh dear). Actually, any pairing with Snape is pretty much doomed to create incredibly silly smoosh-names.

Oh, a whole world of no.

Also: Logurt? Eeep.

Parrish/Lorne aka Porne remains my favourite. However seeing Kirk/Spock as anything other than K/S makes me want to spork my eye out.
