25 Favorite Portmanteau Words
By Mark Nichol

One of the many compensating charms of the often infuriating English language is the ease with which speakers and writers may exercise creativity and inventiveness. One of its most inventive components is the portmanteau word — one formed by combining two words into a single (and often deprecating and/or ironically humorous) term that denotes a new concept, or one for which a satisfactory term was heretofore unavailable. Here are twenty-five such terms, their parent words, and their meanings.

1. Affluenza (affluence/influenza): anxiety or dissatisfaction caused by submission to consumerism

2. Anacronym (anachronism/acronym): an acronym derived from a phrase no longer widely known (for example, radar)

3. Anticipointment (anticipation/disappointment): the letdown after hype gives way to reality

4. Backronym (back/acronym): a word presented as an acronym after the fact (for example, the name of the car brand Ford was derisively backronymed to stand for “Fix Or Repair Daily”) or mistakenly believed to be an acronym (the Morse code distress signal is erroneously said to stand for “Save Our Souls”)

5. Blaxploitation (black/exploitation): a genre of pulp entertainment — most prevalent during the 1970s, when African American culture began to permeate US society — that exploits clichés about black people

6. Bodacious (bold/audacious): insolent or unrestrained, extraordinary or impressively large,
or extremely attractive

7. Celebutant(e) (celebrity/debutant(e)): someone famous for being famous, with no apparent talent except self-promotion

8. Chillax (chill/relax): behave, calm down, or relax

9. Cocacolonization (Coca-Cola/colonization): the aggressive introduction or pervasive influence of American consumerism on other cultures

10. Cosplay (costume/play): wearing costumes and accessories that resemble those of characters from various forms of popular culture, or the subculture that engages in cosplay

11. Craptacular (crap/spectacular): entertainment so poor in quality as to be ironically captivating, or hyped but ultimately disappointing

12. Edutainment (education/entertainment): educational material presented in a format intended to attract with its entertainment value)

13. Frankenfood (Frankenstein/food): genetically modified food

14. Frenemy (friend/enemy): a supposed friend whose actions and/or behavior are characteristic of a foe

15. Gaydar (gay/radar): the ability to identify a person as a homosexual based on observation of the person’s appearance and/or behavior

16. Ginormous (gigantic/enormous): huge

17. Infotainment (information/entertainment): information presented in a format intended to attract with its entertainment value

18. Interrobang (interrogative/bang): a combination question mark and exclamation point

19. McMansion (McDonalds/mansion): a blandly generic large house

20. Metrosexual (metropolitan/heterosexual): a man who appears to be inordinately concerned about personal aesthetics and/or is perceived for this quality as being homosexual

21. Mockumentary (mock/documentary): a feature film that spoofs the documentary form

22. Netocracy (Internet/aristocracy): an elite demographic distinguished by facility with technology and online networking

23. Screenager (screen/teenager): the typical adolescent who indulges excessively in screen entertainment

24. Sexploitation (sex/exploitation): pulp entertainment intended primarily to titillate

25. Shopaholic (shop/alcoholic): someone addicted to shopping

A portmanteau word, as described by Humpty Dumpty in Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass, is (inspired by the word for a suitcase with two opposite compartments) a case of “two meanings packed up into one word.” Many such terms, most of which are in the mainstream vocabulary — and some of which are not widely recognized as invented terms — already exist.

More mundane portmanteau words represent dual ideas in many contexts, including entertainment (cineplex, docudrama, infomercial), sports (heliskiing, parasailing, slurve), and technology (avionics, camcorder, pixel), as well as hybridization of breeds or species (cockapoo, jackalope, liger).

Some older examples include electrocution (electricity/execution), motel (motor/hotel), motorcade (motor/cavalcade), prissy (prim/sissy, though it may be simply a variation of precise), rollicking (rolling/frolicking), and ruckus (ruction, rumpus).

Examples

What had erstwhile been acres of wetland was eventually developed into a thriving residential neighborhood.
"The participants proceeded with civility and purpose. Meetings that erstwhile had taken entire days were concluded with agreement in an hour or two." — Greg Behrman, The Most Noble Adventure, 2007

seribulan

'Seussian' ("of, relating to, or suggestive of the works of Dr. Seuss") is now in the dictionary,

along with 'conlang' ("an invented language"),

'face-palm' ("to cover one's face with the hand as an expression of embarrassment"),

and 'prosopagnosia' ("an inability to recognize faces").

seribulan

For example, we now see that new tech terms are more about what we do with technology—how it is managed, deployed, and organized—than giving a name to the technology itself; hence terms such as net neutrality, abandonware, and botnet. Our devices, apps, and programs allow us to binge-watch, photobomb, and ghost someone. Things we read online might be NSFW listicles; things we post online might be humblebrags. Some of these terms came into use in the past decade, and none are more than twenty years old.

seribulan

From medicine: supercentenarian, EpiPen, and urgent care. And from other sciences we have CRISPR, phytoremediation, and microbiome. Prosopagnosia, sometimes called "face blindness," is a neurological condition that has only relatively recently been the subject of study. The late neuroscientist Oliver Sacks, who suffered from the condition, wrote illuminatingly about its causes and effects. The term itself dates to 1950 and comes from the Greek words prósōpon (“face, mask, person”) and agnosia (“ignorance”).

seribulan

From sports we get the verb airball as well as up-fake and five-hole.

New words from the ever-expanding vocabulary of cooking and food include arancini, EVOO, and macaron, as well as sharp tools of the kitchen santoku and chef’s knife. The adjective artisanal now has an expanded entry.

Political terms include town hall and truther as well as SCOTUS and FLOTUS.

seribulan

Fun words for language lovers include conlang (a constructed language, like Elvish, Klingon, and Dothraki), Seussian, and snollygoster (“a shrewd, unprincipled person”), which has the unusual distinction of being a word returning to the dictionary. Snollygoster was dropped from our Collegiate dictionary in 2003 because it had fallen nearly completely from use; its frequent use by conservative pundit Bill O’Reilly sent people to the dictionary to find it over and over in recent years, and demonstrated that the word still has a place in the American lexicon. Its origins have a political context: it was used in the name-calling politics of 19th-century America.

seribulan

Familiar words combine to give us metaphors or imagery like train wreck, side-eye, and weak sauce. As for verbs, we can ride shotgun, walk back an opinion, throw shade, face-palm, and geek out with new dictionary entries. Other new compound terms are much more serious, like food insecure.
