Portmanteau of the Day

Portmanteau [pawrt-man-toh, pohrt-; pawrt-man-toh, pohrt-]
noun
Definition #1: a large suitcase

Definition #2: a word or morpheme whose form and meaning are derived from a blending of two or more distinct forms.


I like to use (borrow and/or invent) words that help me more efficiently describe a person or a situation... my S.O. also likes to do the same (though sometimes it's not intentional, but often times even more effective).


So, from the time to time, I will throw some of my favorites out there, to see if any of them catch on.
