So, “Fluff Daddy” isn’t a portmanteau word? A play on the name “Puff Daddy” referencing Stan’s job as fluffer? Portmanteau titles are uncommon in [i]LEXX[/i], to be sure, but not unheard of. “A Midsummer’s Nightmare” is never spoken in the episode, and is a humorous comment on the action within the episode, referencing Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Again, the adaptation of a theatrical title to comment on the action within. “Texx LEXX” is a pun involving a style of cuisine (or music, for that matter, if you count Doug Sahm and the Texas Tornadoes), “Tex-Mex.” “ApocaLEXX Now” is a humorous take on the title of the film [i]Apocalypse Now[/i]. It remains to be seen whether or not anyone actually *says* that in the ep, but I doubt anyone would. “Viva LEXX Vegas” is a reference to the hit song (and film) by Elvis (later covered to great effect by the Dead Kennedys), “Viva Las Vegas.” Again, it remains to be seen whether or not this is *spoken*, but again, I doubt it.

Is this classification something you derived from statements from an official source? Or is it speculation?

Only to some. Er, I mean one.
