Shipping Portmanteaus, like or dislike?
When I was younger (not that much younger) I thought it was just an anime thing, but I realize now that it can be used for anything, even real life apparrently. It's mostly for romantic shippings, but can be used for the other types of shipping I guess. What do you think of when people use a portmanteau as the name for a particular shipping? For those who don't know, a portmanteau is a word made out of a group of words (in this case two - they are the names of the two people involved, as one word.)
For the most part I like it, but I will admit that it sometimes doesn't really work, or sound that good. Sometimes the two names might be too similar to make another word, might make a word that's less than flattering, or simply doesn't sound good. I am not going to tell you either our names, and I don't know if this will ever come to anything anyway, but there's is a girl that I am attracted to in my life (current status: friendzoned) but if it did happen, I highly doubt we'd use a portmanteau, because I myself can't think of anything that would combine our names and make it sound good.
