Or this one, from my ELANG class:
Professor: “Now we have blending, also known as portmanteau. We have ’smog’ from ’smoke’ and ‘fog.’ ‘Brunch’ from ‘breakfast’ and ‘lunch.â€
Student: “What about ‘bat’?â€
(Blank stares from all.)
Student: “You know, like, ‘bird’ plus ‘rat’?â€
Professor: †. . . I wasn’t aware of this. That’s probably an instance of folk etymology .â€
Student: “I always thought that’s where it came from.â€
