Fun With Words - Portmanteaux
Have you ever eaten in a restaurant
and been handed a plastic spork for your food. You know, concave like
a spoon, but with small tines on the end like a fork? The word spork
is an example of a portmanteau. You might be using your spork to eat
brunch (breakfast, lunch) at your motel (motor, hotel).
We have an emu farm outside our town where the emus live in domed
igloo-type buildings. I call those emu houses emugloos. I've
also seen dogloos.
Think of some more words that are formed by combining two other words.
