Jerry I took cromulent to be a nonsense word as was runcible when coined by Edward Lear in his poem "The Owl and the Pussycat" hence my use of it. It would appear that it was much later in 1926 that it came to have a definition similar to what you allude.

A fork combined with a spoon is called a Spork, as used by hikers and campers.
