Chortle.
'Last time I was in the lovely environs of Govan Cross, they had one of these queer machines. Wasn't sure if it was a quiz machine or a fruit machine and as there were a scally of sengas bashing buttons and remonstrating with it, I didn't bother investigating any further'
The press must be inflenced by the master wordsmith himself and fruit machine chat as on page5 of the Sun today with reference to the Andrew Sach saga is the word 'chortle'. Bravo.

'Chortle' - a frabjous word indeed.
Reminds me of an old Maygay question, one of those slithy 'odd one out's where you had to provide your own criterion:
Which word is the odd one out?
Chortle
Chuckle
Snort
You 'obviously' had to be on the portmanteau track to bandersnatch that one first go - Bertie's manxome foe would have snicker-snacked it with his vorpal poker.
