Nintendo aims to destroy English

When Nintendo revealed the true name of their Revolution, everybody focused on its potential for crass humor. While this is admirable, a new trend has arisen, and it looks like this one could cleave the language asunder.

Beginning with "Wiimote," the online community has done an astounding job of creating portmanteaus around the name Wii. I've been guilty of it myself, and it got me wondering if there's a collection of Wii portmanteaus out there. Having found none, I started my own list:

• Wiimote
• Wiierd
• Wiitastrophe
• trageWii
• Wiimpressions (really, Thomas?)
• Wiities (Miyamoto's on the box)
• sWiit
• DWiiD (the free DVDs some retailers were handing out)
• liit (from the archaic "1337")
• Wiingrish (as in the crappy post image)
  

It's enough to make a linguaphile Wiip.

We'll be adding to this list whenever, so if you use a Wiirific concoction not posted yet, please let us know about it.

The spellchecker hates me so much.
