Great, Brexit, Spexit, can we stop these ugly terms?

So we might still see a Grexit, and maybe within two years a Brexit, what next a Spexit, Slexit or Swexit? Can we stop this nonsense. This is just crap journalism, descending to Daily Mail and Sun standards. What if Italy left ,or Ireland: Itexit, Irexit (the former sounds like an sms message, the latter an escape from anger)? Above terms could be used in the case of Spain, Slovenis or Sweden.
How about Posit? Portugal or Poland, take your pick. Czexit?
 Lixet for Lithuania? Laxit (for Latvia) or should that be Laxative? And what bout poor old Estonia which would just be Exit. Finland? (Mr) Fixit (though it would by then be more than just broken). Malxit? Sounds like a bedtime drink or a craft brew.
I suppose poor old Croatia, the EU's newest proud member would end up doing a Crexit, though most idiots who write this stuff would confuse the last with an (impossible) exit of Crete on its own, adding a new definition of cretins: the idiots who think ugly shorthand is a clever way to report on events of importance which they don't really understand.
