I’m a strict frictionist on economic issues. We maintain that the abrubbed bankrubbedcy of so many corrubbed corporations disrubbed the stock market..

Re: May I interrub?

This one sounds too bizarre for me. Could this be eye dialect? Lazy speech? Or simply intentionally cutesy word play?

“Bankrubbed” seems to have a bit more potential, but I’m still struggling to find credible imagery in any of these reshapings.
