	That was interesting... I had just thought a few of those were normal words, not 'portmanteaux'.

	I always accused my parents of cheating me out of a meal when they would serve brunch.

	I never realized (or gave it much thought, for that matter), where fortnight came from. Glad I know now. Nifty quiz, Posey.

	A couple of these made me Bang+Smash my head against the desk!

	This was something different. And I learned a few things. Really fun quiz. :)

	THAT'S where goodbye came from?!?! mind=blown.

	Lprdgecko:	May 24th, 2011 at 20:25 GMT		27 points
	I never knew that about goodbye, either, but it makes sense now that I think about it... Same thing in Spanish... Adios = goodbye, break it apart and "a" means "to" and "Dios" means "God"..... Very interesting.

	I have been sloshed many times without slop or slush.

	I'm surprised no one has commented how they love the smell of naphthene and palmitate in the morning...

	White:	May 24th, 2011 at 21:00 GMT		31 points
	@urop: "Bonjour" meaning "hello" not "goodbye", though. Or maybe it was an Only Fools and Horses reference? I think "adieu" is something similar in French.

	@urop: seconding what White said - "bonjour" means hello, "adieu" means goodbye, and it's taken from the phrase "I commend you to God." So, yeah.

	Have to worry for the world's technological future when "spork" comes at the top and "pixel" and "bit" come at the bottom :-(

	A new favorite of mine: hand+santizer= hanitizer. We were just having a discussion about fortnight the other day. I was surprised that my co-worker, who reads a lot of classic literature where they use words like fortnight, had no clue that's where it came from.

	I thought that snappy+jazzy=smooth jazz.

	MichaelB76:	May 24th, 2011 at 22:04 GMT		5 points
	Good quiz, never realised where some of these came from. @gvigary - I'm not that worried. Like a dog, a spork has character.
