| Some good ones in there, but a lot that really don't belong! Checking in a dictionary (OED), smash, glimmer, and glitz definitely aren't portmanteaus, and flare, twirl, brash and ditzy are of unknown origin. Brash is the only one where they seem to suggest it could be a portmanteau; they say it might be "influenced by break and rash". Take these out, keep the good ones, maybe add a few more (Spanglish? napalm? stagflation? brunch? motorcade? ...) and this could be a much better quiz. |
