Unoriginal funs of web karmic xkcd make an edition to leakypedia so as to have life annodate art. But it seems the neologism first arreared at metafilter.
This post was deleted for the following reason: to me htis is pretty interesting but I think all the good jokes have been made over at metatalk -- jessamyn
First AskMe, then MeTa, now the blue; we have a malamanteau trifecta!

I searched the site for 'malamanteau' before submitting. It didn't return the MetaTalk submission and I didn't think to personally scan recent posts there.
There's not really anything more to say here now so I'm happy if the mods want to delete this post.

I hate how Tess reacts; it's very Doublerville.

This post needs a "malamanteau" tag.

This post is bad and you should feel bad. I mean, goddamn, why not just write "Purple monkey dishwasher oven mitt fucker" and link every other word to whatever it is you're posting about? Could people at least TRY to explain what it is and why we should give a shit instead of trying to be so goddamn cute?

Not only that, but that comic is completely unfunny. What's the joke? Wikipedia apparently "likes words" like "malapropism"? O...kay? Yeah, I've totally noticed that!

Wait, what's happening now?

And ludwig_van said: "The Lord hath spoken to me, for I am His prophet, and the word he spake was "'malamanteau.'" And it was good. There was much rejoicing, and ludwig_van came to know many women and to possess great earthly riches.posted by ludwig_van at 5:07 AM on May 14, 2010 [2 favorites]
Malamanteau
I've read the pages but to me Malamanteau still sounds like the perfect title for a middle aged Fascist duke in a hired Dragon Rapide biplane full of Moroccan mercenaries.
¿Malamanteau? ¡Presente!

I can't believe no one has pointed out that is should be "addition," not "edition." Starting to wonder if we really could overthink that plate of beans.

Or like an even more ill-behaved dog.

Sounds to me more like a really horrible vegetable dip served at a corporate function.
