Ah Homer! Quite the wordsmith at times.
Here are a handful of Groening related conjoinulations:

Crisatunity: Homer (when Lisa tells him the Chinese use the same word for crisis and opportunity).

Sacrilicious: Homer talks to waffle stuck to the ceiling as if it's God "I know I shouldn't eat thee, but -- Mmm, sacrilicious."

Smelloscope: Futurama - Professor Farnsworth's device for smelling stuff way off in the vast universe. (Reminds of my old mate Carey and his constant chattering about "...in the future when we have smellovision..." - we watched a LOT of tele together, I mean a LOT).

Tomacco: Homer's accidental creation of a tomato and tobacco plant hybrid which is highly addictive but tastes like shit.
But wait - get a load of this - some freakazoid actually created a tomacco plant - no shit!

Wiki says "The world's first tomacco fruit, destroyed in the testing process, contained no nicotine. The second tomacco fruit was given to a Simpsons writer. The third was sold on eBay and the fourth was eaten by a Xerox engineer who suffered no apparent ill effects from the fruit. The Tomacco plant bore fruit until it died due to weather-related causes at the ripe age of 18 months, having spent the previous winter indoors."
A Xerox engineer, no less!
