Oxford College: Portmanteau words

Portmanteau words

An ever increasing number of portmanteau words (blended words) have joined our vocabularly. Probably most known one, is brunch, but of course, such words as nylon and moped are two words joined together, and have been in use for a very long time. It can be fun making-up portmanteau words, and before you know it, they become part of regular speech.
Let's have your new words, please.
