Portmanteau

noun.
a word or morpheme whose form and meaning are derived from a blending of two or more distinct forms.

Such a great word! I learned it this weekend in Brooklyn, when my friend Adam introduced me to the word Emoticon which is...
a group of keyboard characters (as :-)) that typically represents a facial expression or suggests an attitude or emotion and that is used especially in computerized communications.
I know! Great word number one lead to finding great word number two! Thanks Adam, and Brooklyn. Enjoy!

listen up!
