This is a ridiculous word. Just because we can make up a word like this, doesn't mean we need to. Plus, the meaning isn't clear from the pun, so it is basically useless.

reason not the need Seanahan. it is a ridiculous word, but coining neologisms keeps journalists in work, which in these delationary times is good for all of us.
it is also a close cousin of the equally odious staycation.
