The Hyphenated?
I'm curious about the Hyphenated word. Two ordinary words lumped inseparably and suddenly we say it is One. Share your thoughts here, if you'd like to, on a hyphenated Word or More of your choosing @kNoTeS

Hyphenated and Proud

I'm a hyphenated man

Half-walking, semi-erect

High-fund-aided and ill-tempered

Fully-throttled and a quarter-kami-kaze

I am semi-colonic, but full-stomached

Half-witted, but level-headed

Half-brothered and mother-smothered

Full-bodied but not-so-fasted

Hell-bent but demi-godlike

In quasi-divinity and hyper-salinity

A woman-stalker and sweet-talker

In a tongue-tied merry-go-round

I fast-walk, semi-running willy-nilly

High-fiving my half-hearted,

Red-handed, yellow-bellied, green-eyed,

Red-blooded, purple-people-eating color-blindness

I high-tail it, second-run in first-place

Coma-toes and topsy-turvy googley-eyed

In uncommon-sensical yet non-rational

Gobble-D-Gook-D-licousness

I'm a part-time also-ran

Ne'er-do-well Johnny-come-lately

Penny-wise and dollar-foolish, hip-deep into harrass:

A should-be compound-worded hyphenation
