Around the NPR Music office we all swear like a twee version of Veep — but on-air and on-website we receive a tiny electric shock every time we try to spell out our favorite dirty words. (That's not true, but it's funny to think about.)
With that in mind, let's discuss the portmanteau neanderf***. It's an extremely satisfying, insult-worthy, yelling-to-that-mindless-idiot-who-cut-you-off, or grumbling-to-that-numbskull-who-can't-stop-spewing-pretzel-logic-nonsense-five-beers-into-Friday-afternoon, word. But our typing fingers just won't let it happen, okay? We do this for the public, which may include impressionable children (and adults, for that matter).
