Um, all terms are "made up", at least at first. It's actually an example of a portmanteau word -(originally defined by Lewis Carroll) two words combined to make a third incorporating the definitions of the two original ones. It's not funny. It's demeaning, and it's offensive - given the definition of one of the words.

But maybe I'm over-reacting - so, fellow greekwomen of GC - is it a joke, or offensive?
