Portmanteaus

 Portmanteaus

Portmanteaus are such a fascinating linguistic phenomenon, aren't they? They're like little linguistic puzzles where two words collide and merge into a whole new word with combined meanings. Like "brunch" for breakfast and lunch, or "smog" for smoke and fog. They're like the Frankenstein's monsters of the English language, but in a good way! Got any favorites?
