"What do you mean I'm losing my ACA benefits? I voted for Trump to get rid of that Obamacare crap, not the damn ACA!"

It's the adjective form of parody.

That said, English is the kind of language where you can absolutely invent words and let context clues fill in the blanks for what the words mean.

A lot of languages have that, it's not just English

In fact I feel English is relatively low on the scale of word inventing, some languages get crazy with it

The flexibility of the English language should be celebrated for this sort of thing.

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

Definitely not parodic. Sadly.
