A new game for the forum, inspired by one of the best rounds on Richard Osman’s House of Games.
There are two questions to answer, and the two answers must be ‘smashed together’ to form one winning answer.
For example:
Six time World Champion known as The Rocket
Excessive pride in or admiration of one's own appearance or achievements
[The two answers are Ronnie O’Sullivan and vanity]
Smash those together for the correct answer:
Ronnie O’Sullivanity
Another example:
Character in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Leicestershire player, finalist of the 2016 Paul Hunter Classic
[Bottom and Tom Ford]
Bottom Ford
Guidelines:
If you can create questions where both halves are snooker-based, feel free. But to give the game some longevity, one half can be a general knowledge question, as in the above examples. It doesn’t matter whether the snooker question forms the first or second half.
Try and make the overlap at least 3 letters.
Rules and amendments may be introduced as the game goes on.
I’ll kick things off!
Term used to describe a break with 15 blacks and all the colours
A body of a human being or animal that has been ceremonially preserved by removal of the internal organs

I know, I know. But that’s not going to be easy for all of us on the forum.

If you mean Misery, that won’t work. You need the end of the first answer to amalgamate with the beginning of the second answer.

So it’d need to be Foul and a missery. Which isn’t right.

Correct, but is your spacebar broken? Over to Iranu!
Apologies if that didn't quite fit the rules, I thought the overlap was sufficient enough.
