    I vote Chappers. <ok>

    Incidentally "fannyballs" would be slang. "fannybawz" is merely accentuating the scottishness of the slang.

    It is ****ing so slang. "slang" is simply non-standard words or expressions. It's not even a proper portmanteau (which even if it were wouldn't stop it being slang). A portmanteau of "fanny" and "balls" would be "faballs" or the likes.

    I'd like to change my vote - Gambol's clearly the fickest bluenose. <grr>

    A portmanteau does not require the shortening, or fore-shortening, of the words comprising it. Yer welcome <ok>

    Can't stop to argue. Just popping out for a spot of "breakfastlunch". Then I'm off to the zoo, to see the interesting offspring of a tiger and a lion - i think they call it a "tigerlion" (or is it a "liontiger"?). Then I'll come back to perhaps read a few online "weblogs" on the "internationalnetwork". <whistle>

    A future in standup awaits you.

    That was quite clearly a piss take.

    It's made funnier because you said it without a hint of a wind up.

    The composite parts of the portmanteau are often shortened, it is not however a requirement to do so for it to still be a portmanteau. Yer welcome.

    Both WRANG

    Portmanteau is the former name of the capital city of Vanuatu, Port Vila.

    Norman Manteau was the captain of the famous tea clipper Vertmenteur of the East India Company that ran aground on the island.

    The city was renamed in 1972 when Ricardo Vila leader of the Vanuatu People's Leadership (VPL) put a stop to Canibalism on the island.

    A portmanteau word is used to describe a linguistic blend, namely "a word formed by blending sounds from two or more distinct words and combining their meanings".

    Where's the "blend" if you just stick one word after the other?

    And the original use of "portmanteau" comes from Lewis Caroll who used it to describe his invented words "slithy" (lithe and slimy) and "mimsy" (flimsy and miserable). Note: not "slimylithe" nor "miserableflimsy".

    Yer welcome.
