Now that Quizly gives me daily quizzes, it's much easier for me to find quizzes for Fridays. It's also much easier to navigate than some of the other sites.
However, it also has a lot of ads. And pop ups. Which isn't so great.
This week, I'm linking to a quiz on portmanteau. In case you're unfamiliar, a portmanteau is when they combine two other words to give a word with a new meaning. For example, if you take web, as in world wide web, and combine it with log, as in that book that ship's captains write in, and smash them together, you get blog. Yeah, blog is a portmanteau.
Portmanteau Quiz
I did rather well on this one, 18 out of 20. I'm happy with that score.
Let me know how you did in the comments.
Congrats on the 18/20, that’s impressive. I’ll have to give the quiz a try and see if I can match your score though I might get tripped up by the trickier ones
ReplyDeleteSeems like you are pro in this quiz. Well done with that score, Liz!
ReplyDelete19 out of 20 plus the bonus question. “You're a certified Portmanteau Pro! Not only did you crush this quiz, but you clearly have an ear for language, culture, and clever wordplay. Whether it's sitcoms or cronuts, you know where the words come from and how they collide. Seriously impressive stuff!” The one I didn’t know I didn’t even know it was such a thing.
ReplyDelete20 out of 20. Why do I know these things? :D
ReplyDeleteMy fave, although I probably didn't coin it, but like to think I did, is: Furrenemies. This term refers to my cats, who live together while barely tolerating each other. Ha.
I didn't take the quiz but I learned what a portmanteau is. As a blogger, that should be required knowledge!
