Only if people spell it correctly, i.e. jackanapes.

How about the word “Tourons” as in Tourons of Yellowstone” Is that a portmanteau of “Tourist” and “Morons”?

That may possibly be the very first time in my 72 years I’ve used the word “portmanteau.” I love the way it just trips gently off the tongue, too.
