Portmanteaus Quiz #3

But the shortened singular word is obviously a noun, so the first word is a descriptor.

Agreed. More type-ins for Tanganyika would be ever so helpful! I reliably spell it Tanganikya :'(

I tried that combination first.

I admit, after having golf and thinking of what the first part could be and not being able to think of anything I tried frodo before I thought of frisbee.

I am sure frodo golf ( hobbit golf) is a thinkg somewhere somehow

I though it was frosted wolf...

I though for sure this would have Cronut.

Count your blessings; you don't want those words.

Nearly four years later and l still haven’t heard “Ebonics, Frolf or Crunk.” I managed to guess. “Jorts” but not sure

I have ever heard the term used over here.

I'm an American and have never heard any of those terms except Jorts, and even then I think that's pretty uncommon.

I’m American and I’ve only heard Ebonics before, never any of the others...

Ebonics is a well-known word, well maybe not very well known, but you don't need to be american or even an English speaker to know it. I know it. Though I admit I have been known to spend time on etymologysites, though I don't think that is where I got it from. I don't think my sister knows it for instance. It is a matter of what you do in your free time and what you retain. She is less on the internet, and definitely reads less English.

Ebonics refers to the african-american vernacular. (btw I think I heard of the word ebonics before I learned the word vernacular. Though It was quite some time before I looked up what exactly ebonics meant, though I had gotten the general idea, I came across it quite often)

The others I indeed have not heard of before, crunk once perhaps ( maybe on this site?) but I think I choose to forget it right away again haha. Some port-manteaus just feel too fabricated.

Both are acceptable as the x variant requires importing plural rules and has a silent x so would be ambiguous when spoken in English.

Yeah, I play it frequently, and I've never heard it called that.

Yea thats what i tried aswell, and was confused for a while, I did end up thinking of camelot though

Same here. I tried Jogging Shorts.

A positron is the antimatter counterpart of an electron. They have all the same properties except positive/negative and matter/antimatter.

They are found as the particles released in some radioactive decay, including Carbon10 which goes to Boron10 (1 proton becomes a neutron so a positive particle must be released).

Not all of them are down you know. And no, before you ask, Positron is not one of the transformers.

Why? It's clearly incorrect, as "role" is not the original word from which the portmanteaux is derived.
