Editing Talk:Portmanteaus

== Name of article ==

There's something not-quite-right about the title. Looking closely at various articles and dictionaries, I think the name of this page should either be [http://www.bartleby.com/61/91/P0459100.html portmanteau words] or [[Wikipedia:Blend (linguistics)|blends]]. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:21, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
:According to [[Wikipedia:Portmanteau]]<blockquote>"Portmanteau word" was the original phrase used to describe such words (as listed in dictionaries published as late as the early 1990s), but this has since been abbreviated to simply "portmanteau" as the term (and the type of words it describes) gained popularity.</blockquote>{{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:26, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

== Duplication? ==
A lot of this is already covered in [[Strong Bad's Spelling]] ... [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 19:00, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

== Unportant? ==

Is this simply a truncation of "unimportant", or is it a form of portmanteau? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:28, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

== Appletini ==

:I don't think that Appletini should count. It's already a portmanteau in the real world, not invented for H*R. [[User:Elvis|Elvis]]

== [[theme song|Kansattica?]] ==

I think it's a portmanteau, but of "Kansas" and WHAT? ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 20:57, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
:Many things are called [[Wikipedia:Attica (disambiguation)|Attica]]. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

== Piemonade ==

I think piemonade should be on this list.
