invAsian

Origin:
invasion + Asian = invAsian

Definition:
n. a sudden influx of Asian people, or facets or objects of Asian culture

Exemplum:
The impromptu visit of two supremely loquacious, volume-impaired, Skype-enabled Korean females was an invAsian of home and a threat to tolerance.

Commentary:
While today's exemplum on the rocks comes with a bittersweet twist of verité, let's be clear: a sudden influx of something Asian isn't inherently negative. So let's not play the race card unnecessarily. "InvAsian" can be used in a positive sense. But when the Mrs. plays week-long hostess to her under-achieving graduate school posse of ne'er-do-wells, a man has few other options.

Please note that today's portmanteau is far more effective in writing than in speech, where it's a homophone of "invasion." Even in writing the spellings are highly similar. To draw attention to the portmanteau (and for reasons of political correctness), I've chosen to capitalize the "A"-- invAsian. It's a small distinction, but it can mean the difference between confusion and a monsoon of praise over an expertly cultured portmanteau.

In speech, this one is testy. Attempt to emphasize the "Asian" part of it, but don't expect universal reception. Let's face it: not all portmanteaux are created equal. And this one falls short in the speech category. It's a known known.
