      I thought this was funny too:
      www.wordspy.com/words/schmooseoisie.asp

      "
      schmooseoisie
      n. The class of people who make their living by talking.

      ...


      Notes:
      This word is a not-quite-euphonious blend of schmooze, "to talk persuasively to someone, especially for personal gain," and bourgeoisie, "the affluent middle class." The earliest citation shows not only a variant (yet more sensible) spelling ("schmoozeoise"), but also includes a description by Paul Lewis, who coined the term (and who also coined the famous Frankenfood)"
