What happens when two people with hyphenated last names get married? Do they hyphenate all four names and in what order? (lemmy.world)

So if you portmanteau four hyphenated names you'd have quite an awesome mouthful.

Example based on some names I've encountered...

Garcia + Roothopper + Nishigawa + Smith = Garhopgawaith? Nishciasmithopper? Smootgawacia?

Sounds like something out of the Swedish dub of Guardians of the Galaxy

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
