portmanteau

"I believe that people are like portmanteaux - packed with certain things, started going, thrown about, tossed away, dumped down, lost and found, half emptied suddenly, or squeezed fatter than ever, until finally the Ultimate Porter swings them on to the Ultimate Train and away they rattle..."

— Katherine Mansfield, "Je ne parle pas français," from STORIES

WORD HISTORY "'O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy." Perhaps Lewis Carroll would chortle a bit himself to find that people are still using the word chortle, which he coined in Through the Looking-Glass, published in 1872. In any case, Carroll had constructed his word well, combining the words chuckle and snort. This type of word is called a blend or aportmanteau word. In Through the Looking-Glass Humpty Dumpty uses portmanteau to describe the word slithy, saying, "It's like a portmanteau—there are two meanings packed up into one word" (the meanings being "lithe" and "slimy").

 Double-sound puns?ble-sound Puns

Double-sound puns refer to a word sounding similar to another word, however not identical to the sound of a word, such as homographic puns. A music teacher not at home may leave a note on their door saying, 'Gone Chopin, Bach in a Minuet'. 」

yl：「我想基本原理就是「玩同音字」，如本地報章常見者。我家附近有一家寵物店叫「寵物殿」。 

但pan與pain沒有太同音，所以可稱為「玩近音字」。」

卡洛爾式的造字法，稱為皮箱詞(portmanteau words)，也即把兩個字合併成一個，最常見的如Brunch=breakfast+lunch。圖中倫敦捷運車站廣告中的Fugly=Fabulously+ugly.
