Contents 1 Name of article 2 Duplication? 3 Unportant? 4 Appletini 5 Kansattica? 6 Piemonade 7 Senor Cardgage!

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 portmanteau words or blends. — It's dot com 03:21, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia:Portmanteau

"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.

Hmm, I see. — It's dot com 03:33, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Duplication?

A lot of this is already covered in Strong Bad's Spelling ... Spell4yr 19:00, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Unportant?

Is this simply a truncation of "unimportant", or is it a form of portmanteau? - Qermaq - (^T/C)  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. Elvis

Kansattica?

I think it's a portmanteau, but of "Kansas" and WHAT? ¤ The Mü _{Talk to me.} 20:57, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Many things are called Attica. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 21:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Piemonade

I think piemonade should be on this list.

Senor Cardgage!

What the, why aren't any of Senor Cardgage's lines on here? Who can forget such classics as "Oh, excardon me." and "Many combolations Elizagerth"! Those are classics, man. I'll just list them here: Extardon me: kind of cool Many combolations Elizagerth: flashback Alonzo Mourning to you, Myrtlebeth: [alternate universe]] Free canceltation: Senor mortgage The state of Kansattica: Theme song
