Hi,



What's it called when someone changes a word or name to give it certain connotations, such as referring to Democrats as Da Muckrats, Republicans as Repugnicans, and my third-grade teacher, Mrs. Hurlbut, as Mrs. Squirrel-Butt? [Sorry about that, Mrs. H.!]



Thanks.What is this word-twisting trick called, please?
