Same for me. It wasn't that common back then. And I always found 'Spuffy' a cute word.

Then all of a sudden major media outlets were doing it 'Bennifer, Brangelina' .

All credit due to Spuffy, of course.

is it bad that the first thing i notice is cc's legs?

The spatula is truly iconic. So is the fact that she ends up using it.

It is. Spuffy was the first smush name I saw before all those.

There are plenty of them but I'm almost poss. the Buffy fandom was first to do this in all fandom history.

I feel like it's gotta go back further than that. Fandom used to be kept really hush hush and portmanteaus were no doubt used in secret too. Spuffy was maybe one of the first used more 'mainstream'?

This is talking about online fandom & BTVS was one of the first ever!

It's poss. the first ever!

The smush name was mostly used at first as a an easy way to write couple names online together.
