Yesterday I remembered how to use COUNTIF and SUM functions in Excel, so I made some new #CutthroatCompound productivity charts - it has revealed to me that through their recency and my active searching, I have found just about the same amount in the first 20 years of the 2000s as I have found in all of the 1900s. This tells me I need to look at lists of 20th century consumer products and joke/gaming publications to find less famous nonce instances that I would have found living through daily life in those times. #AmResearching

Is... CHEEZ-IT (1921)... a #CutthroatCompound? A cracker that has been cheezed? Probably not, but maybe. The phrase CHEESE IT! is from 1811. Other -ITs: LITTLE MISS FIXIT (1911), IT'S IT (1928), WHATCHAMACALLIT (1942), POST-IT note (1975), TAKE IT candy bar (2013). It seems more likely to be endocentric (an It with Cheez, a cheesy thing), but I'd like it to be a verb. For fun. But it doesn't make sense. But maybe. #AmResearching

Today from a Drawfee video, I learned about the Weartiger enemy from DragonQuest games - a new #cutthroatcompound for the list! (Originally from 1992) https://dragon-quest.org/wiki/Weartiger I have "wearwolf" from this undated meme image. A nice pun used twice.

Because @discordjack and I just played the new Looney Tunes Mayhem board game, I’ve been on a WB lore kick. And wouldntcha know it? I found another #CutthroatCompound. In a 1945 cartoon, Bugs dresses up in a long beard as DR. KILLPATIENT to further befuddle Elmer into thinking he has Rabbititis. (The name built from the fictional Dr Kildare from the NBC show?) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare_Tonic

#ThatWordChat show about #WOTY2022 just ended. I may do an actual write-up for my phrases of the year, but if I don't:

Favorite #CutthroatCompound of the year: The Slap Butts, written by Michael Che when he was trolling Kanye West. (pic is below)

Favorite blend of the year: RuPocaLipStick, referring to a dramatic moment in RPDR: UK vs the World. RuPaul + Apocalypse + Lipstick. Beautiful.
