Conjoinulations for the Fashionable

Yep, conjoinulations lurk all around, even in the world of fashion.
The Burkini (Burka/bikini): This fascinating and practical item is designed in Australia for Muslim women to wear at the beach.
Check it out.
Skort: I really need a pic to describe this one - basically, it's a skirt with a division between the legs. Like shorts, but more skirty I guess.
oh! oh! - "Some skorts are essentially skirts with a pair of shorts hidden underneath while others are more like a pair of shorts with a piece of fabric over the front. So from the front it looks like a skirt but from behind it looks like a pair of shorts."
Thanks wiki.
And now for my absolute summer staple -
Jandals: you guessed it - the New Zealand word for flip flops is actually a conjoinulation of 'Japanese Sandals'. I only found this out a month or two ago and I'm still reeling. It's OK if you, too, need to take a moment.
