Derivation of 'Weirdmonger' word

"Weirdmonger"

There is some doubt who in my family invented this word in the Eighties: I reckon it was me; it was certainly me who first used it in public: but my son and daughter both claim speaking it first. I used to call my daughter 'Daughtmonger'... and I wrote Weird stories... The rest is History.

The 'Weirdmonger' stories first appeared in Chris Reed's Back Brain Recluse magazine in 1988. The paperback book of my selected stories published by Prime in 2003 was called WEIRDMONGER: The Nemonicon: Synchronised Shards of Random Truth & Fiction.

When I first had the Internet in 1999, googling 'Weirdmonger' only produced material relating to me or my work. That is still the case today. So, yes, like 'Nemonymous' (which had no Google hits at all in 2001 but now thousands), 'Weirdmonger' is unique but manifold... !

I've tried to do this with other expressions:
