Today's challenge is to make up a new word (it can be a combination of two words or complete nonsense). What is the word? How do you pronounce it? What does it mean? Use it in a sentence.
A portmanteau or portmanteau word is "a blend of two (or more) words or morphemes into one new word... [It] typically combines both sounds and meanings."
