ポケモン on my パソコン


I just found an interesting new word,
PORTMANTEAU
A portmanteau is a combination of two words,
to create a single new word.
(Much like yesterday's post was talking about.)
The picture above is a SPORK,
a blending of the words spoon & fork.
Can you think of any more?
Or maybe you can create some new ones.
Let me know in the comments below.

  1. Do you know smog? I studied this word at elementary school. It is a kind of air pollution. It is a portmanteau.
    Smog is composed of Smoke and fog!
