About

Eggcorn is an eggcorn. Crash blossom is from a crash blossom. Portmanteau is a portmanteau. They are self-definers or self-exemplifiers.

Also acceptable: if diacritic had a diacritic, or if diphthong had a diphthong. (See the Speculative Grammarian Self-Definer: http://specgram.com/LP/03.rankin.selfdefiner.html)

I wish Mr. Eponym was a real person.

If haplology was haplogy, it would be on this list.

Spoonerism, malapropism, do not count. They are eponymous linguistic terms, which are fun, but a different list.

Do CamelCase and snake_case etc. count?
And lowercase and UPPERCASE?

I'm tempted to take your plosive and raise you polyplosive.
