draft schools guidance uses the cass review phrase 'living in stealth' - did we ever find an origin of this that wasn't just a portmanteau of 'stealth' and 'living in sin'?

Best of luck, Guanchacho. (Portmanteau of Brochacho and Guan, itself a portmanteau of bro and muchacho)

Actually, real talk, Guanchacho rolls off the tongue way too easily. Can I call you Guanchacho if the situation calls for it?

Hauled as good as 20 kg’s robust portmanteau in my right hand with a 20 kg blue-chip camera backpack strapped on my back...

HEAR ME OUT:

"Redneckbeard". Let's make it a new word! A perfect portmanteau if I do say so myself.

a new (to me) one: fart + n-word as some sort of strange portmanteau

I've been calling them the Trumpstein files forever. This is an easy and obvious portmanteau, c'mon, Jimmy.

Making the title of your game a eugenics portmanteau is already enough of a red flag but... damn.

Almost like none of this was given serious thought 😬

Japan imported the portmanteau sexual harassment as "sekuhara" and since then has piled onto the "hara" train with all sorts.

Missing from this list is "aijihara," or mentioning their age.

Yeah nah, after a brief look into Mewgenics I aint touching that with any length pole. Cast list is made up of some horrid people and its literally a portmanteau of Mew and Eugenics. Its getting thrown on the Hogwarts Legacy pile.

Tomorrow I'm starting something new and exciting! #CareacterPackage - take a look at the info below (Alt text is added as well) if you're interested in learning more. More than ever, I want to do what I can to spread some kindness. Creating art, even personal art, is important.
Introducing #CareacterPackage - A hashtag designed for the "Fanart Friday" I've been musing about! This panel features a picture of a pencil with a red gift ribbon around it. What is #CareacterPackage? #CareacterPackage is a portmanteau of “Character” and “Care Package” – and it’s meant to be exactly what it sounds like. It’s a gift to bring someone a bit of joy. It’s the extra reminder that we don’t have to wait for the right time to spread some love. It’s a no strings attached way of expressing your admiration. How do I participate? All you have to do is create art of someone’s character and post it with the hashtag #CareacterPackage. It goes without saying that you should do your due diligence when representing someone else’s work: respect an artist’s restrictions and permissions regarding their OCs if you’d like to participate. There is also no expectation around the favor being returned in any fashion. This is meant to be a gift made with care, after all! #CareacterPackage is not meant to have a schedule. I want to make regular posts on Fridays, but maybe you’d like to post your work on Tuesdays. Maybe this is something you do over the course of a week, a month, a season; whatever works best! When you’re ready to join the conversation, all you have to do is use the hashtag. A Message from the Artist: I made this hashtag to make sure I took time out of my busy life to do something creative, something kind, something fun, and something I've been putting off. We all need some joy in our lives, especially right now. I want to be someone who spreads that joy. I plan to be a bit ambitions and post twice a month on Friday evenings in February, March, and April. By May I might consider winding down to once a month. This is also with the caveat that, at any point, I can take a break for my own health if I need. Which is all in the spirit of the hashtag! Ultimately, I'll draw when I'm inspired. I hope I get to see what inspires you as well! The bottom of the panel features a doodle of me drawing at my laptop. I want to wish everyone Happy Arting!

After a spirited discussion with @ulfrin.bsky.social, I'm leaning heavily towards "hurlesque", because I love a good portmanteau.

Mefien ist sicher ein Typo, aber könnte auch ein passendes Portmanteau sein. 😁

What’s that word which describes when someone drops a bottle of fortified wine on your foot?.
Portmanteau?.
Yes, that’s it, thanks. #LunchPun

OK, so maybe those names are too on-the-nose for Pokemon. Especially since westernized versions have portmanteau names.

Pequenip - (The Piquant Pokémon) Pequeño (Small) + Nip (Bite)

- Sounds like "Picanie" or a small, nippy creature.

9 Snark hunters, that's my preference when interpreting lines 9 and 10 of "The Hunting of the Snark" (snrk.de/snarkhunt/#1...). However, the lines are ambiguous. There also could be 10 hunters, as since 1876 almost all Snark readers believe.

See also: snrk.de/boots-bonnet...
The correct non-sequential interlaced portmanteau 'Boots' can be built from 'Bonnets and Hoods'. The lines 9 and 10 from Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark" are ambiguous: 009 The crew was complete: it included a Boots — 010 A maker of Bonnets and Hoods — Two interpretations are possible: • The usual interpretation is that this is the introduction of two crew members: The 'Boots' and the 'maker of Bonnets and Hoods'. • Alternatively, the two lines also can be interpreted as the introduction of a 'Boots', who is a 'maker of Bonnets and Hoods'. The table below shows the names N of all crew members and how some properties P of the members are positioned besides the names of the members. crew | 10 members | 9 members ---------------------------------- Bellman| PNP|PNP Boots | N | NP maker of Bonnets and Hoods | N | - Barrister | NP | NP Billiard-marker | NP | NP Broker | NP | NP Banker | NP | NP Beaver | NP | NP Baker | PNP | PNP Butcher | PNP | PNP See also: https://snrk.de/boots-bonnetmaker/#9or10 and the much larger page https://snrk.de/page_boots-bonnetmaker/

Agreed, it’s definitely an unserious portmanteau
