Portmanteaus Quiz #3

But the shortened singular word is obviously a noun, so the first word is a descriptor.

Agreed. More type-ins for Tanganyika would be ever so helpful! I reliably spell it Tanganikya :'(

I tried that combination first.

I admit, after having golf and thinking of what the first part could be and not being able to think of anything I tried frodo before I thought of frisbee.

I am sure frodo golf ( hobbit golf) is a thinkg somewhere somehow

I though it was frosted wolf...

I though for sure this would have Cronut.

Count your blessings; you don't want those words.

Nearly four years later and l still haven’t heard “Ebonics, Frolf or Crunk.” I managed to guess. “Jorts” but not sure

I have ever heard the term used over here.

I'm an American and have never heard any of those terms except Jorts, and even then I think that's pretty uncommon.

I’m American and I’ve only heard Ebonics before, never any of the others...

Ebonics is a well-known word, well maybe not very well known, but you don't need to be american or even an English speaker to know it. I know it. Though I admit I have been known to spend time on etymologysites, though I don't think that is where I got it from. I don't think my sister knows it for instance. It is a matter of what you do in your free time and what you retain. She is less on the internet, and definitely reads less English.

Ebonics refers to the african-american vernacular. (btw I think I heard of the word ebonics before I learned the word vernacular. Though It was quite some time before I looked up what exactly ebonics meant, though I had gotten the general idea, I came across it quite often)

The others I indeed have not heard of before, crunk once perhaps ( maybe on this site?) but I think I choose to forget it right away again haha. Some port-manteaus just feel too fabricated.

Both are acceptable as the x variant requires importing plural rules and has a silent x so would be ambiguous when spoken in English.

Yeah, I play it frequently, and I've never heard it called that.

Yea thats what i tried aswell, and was confused for a while, I did end up thinking of camelot though

Same here. I tried Jogging Shorts.

A positron is the antimatter counterpart of an electron. They have all the same properties except positive/negative and matter/antimatter.

They are found as the particles released in some radioactive decay, including Carbon10 which goes to Boron10 (1 proton becomes a neutron so a positive particle must be released).

Not all of them are down you know. And no, before you ask, Positron is not one of the transformers.
