My absolute favourite kind of word is a neologism. “What!” you say? That word must be made up. Anyone can make up a word. Cool eh? Specifically, neologism officially means:

There are also portmanteau words. These are words that are made up from putting parts of two other words together to form one new word.
Portmanteau word. Linguistics, (blend)
For a wordy type of person, I have a treat today. Following are some cool portmanteau words that I found and ‘borrowed’ to share with you. I hope you enjoy them.
