Lucky for you Boris that there is no such thing as an English Academy along
the lines of the Academie Francaise. Otherwise they'd have your balls for
mixing a Germanic word - two/twice - with a Latin word - facere/-fication.
You could try twofolding instead.

Bob, you realize that with my background I cannot possibly think of
combining words of similar heritage. It is totally out of the question.
And I'd keep my balls with me, thank you so much.
As for "twofolding" - it is very bad word. Why would I want to "fold"
"two" somethings together?
On a serious note, I should point out that there is an Academy of Hebrew
Language here in Israel. Sometimes they officially add new words to the
language. Some of these words are very funny to me.
