Take 5: Portmanteau
Note: Another new type of post – I will be doing collection of 5 things/thoughts/etc. Expect a lot of randomness.
These are my new favorites. Both using exisiting ones and making up my own.
What is a portmanteau, you ask? A portmanteau or portmanteau word is a combination of two or more words into one new word.
5 Good Examples

5 Bad Examples
Jorts
Brangelina (however, not all of this type are bad, this one is just annoying)
