Blend Words

(Portmanteau Words)

    Blend words are words which are comprised of parts from two other words.  Portmanteau is French for suitcase.  Portmanteau words have two parts folded into one; much like the two parts of a suitcase fold into one unit.  The first list contains some easily recognized blend words which are common enough, and you've probably used them without knowing they are portmanteau.  The second list is less commonly used, but should be somewhat familiar and entertaining nonetheless.
