banged and loud makes up blanged
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............... Isn't "glugging" an example of onomatopoeia (a word that sounds as it means, like POP or SPLAT)? Why should it be a portmanteau word at all?
Snort and giggle
I think it would be squeezed and pinched.
The word "brunch" is a portmanteau of the words "breakfast" and "lunch." It refers to a meal that is typically eaten between the hours of breakfast and lunch, often served on weekends.
Oh, dude, the term "portmanteau" was actually named after a specific kind of suitcase that opens into two equal parts, like a combination of two words. It was first coined by Lewis Carroll in "Through the Looking-Glass." So yeah, it's not named after a specific gentleman, just a fancy word for blending words together. Cool, right?

Squeeze and Pinch
The word "blanged" is made up of the two words "blang" and the past tense suffix "-ed." "Blang" is a colloquial term that can mean to make a loud noise or bang, while "-ed" indicates that the action has already occurred.

The term "portmanteau" is a portmanteau itself, derived from the French words "porter" (to carry) and "manteau" (coat). It originally referred to a suitcase with two compartments, symbolizing the blending of two meanings into one word. In linguistics, it describes a word formed by combining parts of two different words, such as "brunch" (breakfast + lunch).

A portmanteau word belongs to the category of word formation, specifically blending, where two words are combined to create a new word with a combined meaning.
A portmanteau is a large suitcase. By extension, a portmanteau word is one that packs two meanings into one word: brunch (breakfast and lunch); smog (smoke and fog); slithy (slippery and lithe); slanguage (slang and language) Portmanteau words are also called "blend words" and "telescope words."
