I seem to have a mental tic and invent rubbish portmanteaus at an alarming rate.
Today's was
[b]'Strongled'[/b]
[i]v[/i] - to be strangled by a thong*
Mrs Rider titles my seemingly endless moronic mangling of words - 'shortmanteaus'. I told her I am 5' 9 3/4". She says quibbling about fractions seems insecure. I digress..
So, what are your favourite portmanteaus?**
* not sure if 'strongled' even is a portmanteau as it's forced into the middle rather than on the ends. A thwartmanteau?
PS Was sadly not prompted by such an experience. It just came to me while walking the dog and getting whipped by a bramble and I said 'I'm being strongled' purely by mistake. Honest.
**Disclaimer, in sharing here you surrender unto me complete license to use them for commercial and other scurrilous purposes.
PPS please do NOT mention the B-word. Worst portmanteau of all time ever. Unlike [b]'Snoovie[/b]. Which is mine. It means those slightly rubbish movies that you choose to view simply to nap along to. Snooze+movie.
Victrionics. The act of being a bad winner, and over celebrating to the point of being a bad sport.
'Gription' (or lack thereof) 'Grip/Traction'
Damn those are both good 😀

Rather like the word used in the early days of bike suspension - Stiction.

Should add that it was Mrs CFH who first coined the word, as far as I know,

I've just had a neologasm.

Can't decide whether it means a single wrong with a lasting effect or a commitment to being incorrect.
