Word of the Week

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.
