who are we?

[Elaine Bell]

Hey smart people--what is the term for figures of speech like "solipsistic
twerp" (quoted earlier in this thread) or, e.g., malingering nerd?  Formal
adjective followed by slang noun?  Seems like it should be called
something.  Perhaps, a counter-locution?  Christmas goose? Plister?
