Not a suffix. Examples (which we don't have entries for) are blends of name + "momentum". DTLHS (talk) 20:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Delete per proponent. PUC – 21:36, 16 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Delete. It dates back to 2016 (the presidential election campaign?). DonnanZ (talk) 21:50, 16 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Donnanz: Actually, it dates back to 2004, and "Lieberman says he's got the 'Joementum'". bd2412 T 03:57, 26 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
@BD2412: I was a bit vague here, referring to when the English entry was added, the Latin entry was created first, diff. DonnanZ (talk) 08:22, 26 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
I already hate myself for this, but see Dean Del Sesto, Shift Your Thinking for Success (2018), p. 52: The endgame of a status-quo work ethic will turn momentum into “nomentum or slowmentum” where exemplary work ethic creates “flowmentum and growmentum.” bd2412 T 04:02, 28 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Also, Jeffrey C. Alexander, ‎Bernadette N. Jaworsky, Obama Power (2014), p. 90: David Axelrod referred to Romney team's idea that its candidate was building up steam as “fauxmentum”. bd2412 T 04:05, 28 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
