Ever since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez began dating and spawned the “Bennifer” moniker, celebrity couple names have become a thing.
(Or, whatever, they’ve become a thing the media foists upon the public. Do we even know the difference anymore? Do we even care???)
Often, they’re super useful. Brangelina, for instance. Everyone loved saying Brangelina. Your mom loved saying Brangelina.
Other times, they’re less successful. When Wilmer Valderrama and Lindsay Lohan had a short-lived relationship, almost no one called them Lohalderrama.
Today, Washingtonian magazine attempted to coin a term for Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
"Javanka" is not a thing. Stop trying to make it happen https://t.co/xOHyeOYq3r

Twitter, upon hearing “Javanka,’ reacted with the kind of grace and panache a toddler shows when you execute their mother in front of them.

Javanka sounds like an island in Indonesia. Also, please move there. Thanks! https://t.co/NC0MrL5TfV
