Smirting? Nein Danke

Now that smoking has become an outdoor activity (the intermediary stage before a total ban on public smoking, mark my words), a supposed 'new phenomenon' has been observed/invented by some bright spark desperately looking for an angle, and a truly dreadful portmanteau word invented to describe it. Why not floking? How about some more useful portmanteau words? Droking (drinking and smoking), smeating (smoking and eating), sminking (smoking and thinking), dralking (drinking and talking), smalking (smoking and walking), drogging (drinking and blogging)....

  1. Smirting is one of the few things that's made me appreciate the ban.

  6. Why not? Clearly because smokers and drinkers are incapable of multitasking... apart from sminking of course.
