At what point does it end. If I can convince everyone that "slapbuttosky" is another word for "spaghetti" will that be OK?
lol. Highly unlikely. Very few new words or usages stick long term. The replacement of 'to' with 'and' is a particular kind of deviation from standard, but I can't recall the mechanism. There are a few similar ones that have a tendency to crop up in certain dialects.
