Portmanteaus!

We use portmanteaus all the time without realizing what is it exactly.. 🤓

A portmanteau is when we combine two words - or sounds - to make a new meaning..

📝

For example: The word BRUNCH is actually = breakfast + lunch! 🍳

SMOGE = smoke + fog. 🌫

VITAMIN = vital + mineral.💊

BLOG = web + log. 🖥

FANDOM = fanatic + kingdom.😍

CRONUT = croissant + donut.🍩

Now, it's your turn! Can you give me other examples of portmanteaus? 🤔📋
