I got 32/41. Some of these I've never even heard of such as toonie. Some I didn't even know were portmanteaus such as Tanzania.

A toonie is the two-dollar Canadian coin (the loonie is the one-dollar coin).

gecko - exactly what it sounds like.....permanent frost....ice/snow that never melts, like at the tops of mountains in cold climates......kind of like a glacier, but in much smaller form

@GeckoIX; It's actually soil that is permanently frozen, not ice/snow. You can have permafrost without ice & snow. A.k.a. cryotic soil.

FYI: The word "Murse" will be in reference to a male nurse more than it will be in reference to a man purse. ;)
