Portmanteaus Quiz #2

I outsmarted kalbahamut. Feeling rather proud.

For the better, really. Capemon sounds like an Italian gangster.

I found a Pokemon card that says Pocket Monsters on the back.

Lol

hmm, interesting. I had always just considered a motel to be a cheap hotel. never really knew why the "m" was there

Most motels in the USA are designed so that you can park very near the door to your room, and are often found along busy highways. In contrast, American hotels typically have a main entrance and a lobby you must pass through to get to a corridor or elevator that takes you where you want to go, and are most often found in city centers or near various points of interest. The Filipino motels just take it to an additional level.

Paraguay has those too. There the word "motel" always has a sexual connotation.

Yeah, to me, a motel has rooms that lead directly outside, whereas a hotel has rooms in a hallway and you have to go through the lobby.

The ones that have the look of "discreet meeting places" here in the US are sometimes called a "no-tell motel".

Haha YES! I was gonna put that on here until I saw your comment! My brother's Marine Corps recruiter says that's a common term around the Corps. Makes sense, right?

or maybe fake trust

I get the dust part but where does the "fr" come from?

That is 'Frustrating'

Tried Bengaluru, Bangladesh... forgot about the old name

I had no idea what the B stood for, but I tried Mumbai and it was accepted.

As in, in real life.
