"Launderama" where did it come from? Hello, everyone! :) I'll be happy if you can help me. My question is about the a place where you can go to wash your clothes. As far as I'm concerned, there are two words to name that place: 1) Laundromat 2) Launderette But where did the word "Launderama" come from? I heard it in "Friends" and found a lot of pictures of bildings with the sign of "Launderama" on the Internet. I'm confused, because I can't find "Launderama" in any English Dictionary. And I can't understand why Rachel (from "Friends") used "Launderama". I can suppose that it's just a combination of two words "Laundry" and "Melodrama". I'll be waiting for your explanations :) Thank all of you in advance for your answers! :)
