'Bleisure' portmanteau makes for strange bedfellows

'Bleisure' portmanteau makes for strange bedfellows

San Diego Jewish World humour column

"'Bleisure'? Blah!" -
http://www.sdjewishworld.com/2015/04/30/bleisure-travel-blah/
 

by ''Leinad Moolb''

BLEISURING in DUBAI -- I am not a connoisseur of words by any means, and my working vocabulary is actually quite limited, but everyone once in while as I navigate the internet, I come across new words and terms that give portmanteau words their money's worth.

Case in point: "bleisure," a portmanteau combination word created by putting ''business'' and ''leisure'' into the word blender. I saw the word in a newspaper headline the other day in an English-language newspaper here in Taiwan, where an Associated Press wire service editor used it in a headline about a travel story about tourist spots in Dubai.

The author of the AP article, Aya Batwary, had the good sense *not* to use the ''bleisure" term in her text at all, and never used it at all in her story, *but* one of her supervising editors in New York decided to stick it to readers in the headline I guess.

When I emailed Batwary in Dubai to ask her about this new ungodly portmanteau -- and ''a terrible neologism',' as the Economist magazine in London has called it -- she replied 10 minutes later in internet time: "Hey, take it up with the AP travel editor."

So I did. I am still waiting for the travel editor's reply --  Beth, I think her name is, Beth Harpaz. ***[UPDATE: She did reply to me, two angry emails, in fact! Oops!]

Here's some background  in this portmanfail brouhaha.

The headline in a recent Taipei Times wire story read: "Blissful 'bleisure' - travelers to Dubai are combining business with leisure and soaking up the sun and souq."

And notice that the word "bleisure" was in quotes in the Taipei Times headline, in order to signify to readers that the term was not a real word and was being used with scare quotes surrounding it.

The worldly Yiddish word maven and former New York Times "On Language" columnist Wiliiam Safire -- l'z -- knew a thing or two about how some portmanteau words fly and how some fail, so I decided to channel the Bill Safire spirit and get his take on this "bleisure" nonsense.

Back in the day, I used to be one of Safire's ''Lexographic irregulars," a group of readers who looked up to him for advice and comment, and he even quoted one of my letters to him as part a book he wrote long ago.
When I asked Safire about the misery of a portmanteau fail, by channeling his revered spirit from my home in Taiwan, he replied: "As you know, Dan, portmanteau terms are named after the French suitcase with hinged compartments -- chuckle and snort blended into chortle, breakfast and lunch fused into brunch, and, in our time, broadcast and the World Wide Web morphed into webcast (still capitalized as “Webcast” by the New York Times copy czar)."

I asked Safire what he thought of this hotel and travel industry portmanteau -- "bleisure" -- blending business and leisure into an awkward, ugly, weird new term, he replied: "Some portmanteau words work and work brilliantly, but others fail miserably and fall down hard."

There's more. An editorial writer for the Economist started off an article earlier this year:
"How's this for a terrible neologism: 'bleisure'. It is used to describe what some people claim is a new type of business traveller: one who fits in leisure travel while on the road."

As I surveyed a new generation of Lexographic Irregulars for this column, I received mostly a thumbs down response for "bleisure," even though if you Google it, you will see that it has caught on already with the hotel industry and most likely cannot be stopped now.

"I don’t have time for bleisure when I bravel," quipped a reporter in New York.

"If it's not the worst portmanteau of 2015, at least it's pretty bad," tweeted a Manhattan word maven.

But a hotel industry blog that bills itself as ''insights for the new travel industry professional; get smart about how and why you travel,'' likes the new word and used in a tweet the other day.

​"How could 'personalization' play a key role in bringing 'bleisure' to life?" the Tweet asked the blog's 800,000 Twitter "followers.

"Ever met a 'blurker'?" the spirit of William Safire asked me as this San Diego Jewish World humor column was coming to a close. "That’s boosted from lurker, 'someone who reads a forum conversation but doesn’t contribute,' and in a blargon portmanteau means 'one who reads many blogs but leaves no evidence of himself behind.'''

So what's your take on "bleisure" as a new portmanteau term, dear readers? Does it work for you? Is it a roaring success that will live on for decades in the hotel industry or is it a huge ''portmanfail,'' as some bloggers are already dubbing it.

Me, I'm voting it off the Dubai man-made islands. But what do I know?

Eskimo actor makes 'cli-fi' debut in ''CHLOE AND THEO''

Eskimo actor makes 'cli-fi' debut in "Chloe and Theo" - Film is nominated for best movie, best actor, best actress, best screenplay and best director in the upcoming 2015 CLI FI MOVIE AWARDS in Hollywood (see: korgw101.blogspot.com)

by staff writer and agencies

 

NEW YORK, IN FRONT OF THE UN BUILDING -- Take an engaging and photogenic Inuit man from Canada and put him a 'cli-fi dramatic comedy' that aims to serve as a warning flare about possible global wamring impacts in the far north, and you've got a winner by Hollywood standards.
 

Meet Theo Ikummaq, the Inuit man who plays himself in the movie that is sure to touch millions. Fans are already talking about the film on social media and will soon be lining up to see it when opens this summer.

"Chloe and Theo"is about a man who comes to New York to try to persade the United Nations to do something about global warming before it wipes his people's homes in the far north off the map. Oh, and Dakota Johnson ["50 Shades of Gray"] co-stars are a young woman who wants to help him.

It's a serious movie, with a cli-fi theme and cli-fi message, but it's also billed as a comedy, too. There's some heavy dialogue, some good comic lines, and it's a tear-jerker that will not only touch your heart but may very goad you into action.

At a recent screening of the movie at World Bank function in Washington, Marty Katz, the founder and president of Prospero Pictures and the producer of "Hotel Rwanda," sat in on a panel discussion about the power of cinema to connect with people over serious issues.

Wagner then asked Katz, producer of the award-winning, historical film Hotel Rwanda, to talk about “what is the essence of film that enables one to create these connections and render such powerful responses and can this be applied to the subject of climate change?”

When asked to talk about how a movie like "Chloe and Theo" might connect with viewers on the pressing issue of global warming, the Canadian film maven responded by asking a few questions himself, according to a transcript of the World Bank event.

''Can film be an agent for social change? Can the arts be an agent for social change? Can anything but the arts be an agent for social change?" Katz asked. "I can’t think of how to change people’s perception or behavior except for the arts. That’s why governments who don’t want people’s behavior to be changed sensor the arts."

"I think that film can be a catalyst for those who can be social agents who can affect change in the world and I think that’s a great thing," Katz said.

Later, he tweeted and I saw this on his Twitter feed:

“You need the big story that comes from films. Then you need to give tools to people to make them able to make a change”@martinfkatz #TakeOn — Connect4Climate (@Connect4Climate) April 15, 2015

Like "Games of Thrones," this Enza Sands-directed movie is the latest in an expanding genre of films, novels and TV shows that touch on the genre of climate-change fiction, or "cli-fi."
 

While climate change can be a scary and overwhelmingly difficult topic that people want to avoid, as Manjana Milkoreit at Arizona State University has blogged, storytelling in movies like "Chloe and Theo" can bring the harsh realities of climate change home to world audiences -- and world leaders!

The

movie is a keeper. Will it score at the box office? Will it wake people up? Two questions that only time can answer.
