What's a "funatic"?

If you say it's a portmanteau that combines "fundametalist" with "lunatic" to wacky effect, I'll be obligated to ask you which AM talk-radio host first sent that delicious shiver down your spine by using it.

I assumed it was a portmanteau of "fun" and "lunatic".

Is "fundametalist" a heavy metal fundamentalist?

Um, I think you misheard that. It's actually "down in Bur Sa'id."

It's always about your personal "brown sugar" isn't it?

This is not a response from dank. It has a small fragment of real humor in it.

Your point?

When were the divorce papers served?

It looks to me like a combination of "fundamentalist" and "fanatic". It could also just be a case of spelling "fanatic" is it is pronounced (at least by most of those I hear say it).

This leads to another question: Why does "fanatic" have an accent on the second syllable, but "lunatic" has it on the first and third?

That imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I guess.

About the time I asked one too many dumb questions that I wouldn't be asking if I knew what a pain in the ass it is to be a woman.

Well, you don't have to get all fanatical about it. You can get lunatical, however, if you like.

There... that equalizes them.
