| | A Capital Idea: Cramming it in |
| | A comment in the link roundup piece below mentions "portmanteau words" and notes the different meaning of Kilpatrick's "portmanteau sentences." | | | Portmanteau words are the same as blend words, those coined by combining two other words in form and meaning: brunch, smog, chortle. | | | It's been awhile since I've heard "portmanteau words," and I looked up the origin to see if there's a link. |
