They are what some people call portmanteau words, i.e. words made by combining parts of two or more other words. Smog = smoke and fog; brunch = breakfast and lunch, and so on. "Portmanteau word" is a term inspired by Lewis Carroll.

In the book The Watson's Go to Birmingham the toilet is glugging after one of the kids tries to flush a bunch of stuff. I think that it is a combo of gurgle and plug...............
