And yet we all know what it means.

So it is a word.

English isn't like French we don't have council of arbitrary definitions of what is and is not a word. If you know what it means it is therefore a word.

Stop trying to gatekeepe stuff, it's weird and boring

If any Spanish speaker is as confused as I was, just note that "cromulent" has perfecta validancia

Why say "enshittificate" when "enshittify" will do?
