I will say, one thing "Spuffy" has going for it is the ease with which it is turned into other word-forms: who can forget our detailed discussion of "Aggro-spuffists"?

Hee. Hee hee. I have next to no sense of humor when it comes to portmanteaux, but I have to confess that this one makes me laugh.
I have no idea why Spike/Xander people have embraced "Spander" because that's just fugly. Plus, every time I hear "Snarry" (which seems to be a largely accepted term in the Snape/Harry part of the HP fandom), I want to bash someone's head in.
"snarry" sounds like an unflattering adjective.
"Oh, my god, get away from me! You're all snarry!"
And not shorthand? It doesn't look to me like it's reaching (Bike is just dumb, and using double first syllables is illegible). It just ended up cute. But so is Buffy, really.
Yeah, point.
I was going to mention Clitney ( the first time I saw it used was for Clark/Lex/Whitney thought). Also Spillow for Spike/Willow.
I think Sheppard/Weir got dubbed Sparky at some point.
Batxan t shudder
Batman and Xander?
hence the shudder
BATMAN WOULD NEVER SLEEP WITH XANDER!!! And Xander would never be able to get it up in that scenario.
Methan? Dunnos?
