Brunch
Smog
Reaganomics
Stagflation
Emoticon
No these are not the word of the week but they are examples of the word of the week.
A portmanteau is a blend of two (or more) words and their meanings into one new word.
So breakfast + lunch becomes brunch. Smoke + fog becomes smog...
Do your best to use this word in your daily vocabulary and impress your friends.
