Portmanteau
A portmanteau (/pɔːrtˈmæntoʊ/ (About this sound listen), /ˌpɔːrtmænˈtoʊ/[a]; plural portmanteaus or portmanteaux /-ˈtoʊz/[b]) or portmanteau word is a linguistic blend of words,[1] in which parts of multiple words or their phones (sounds) are combined into a new word,[1][2][3] as in smog, coined by blending smoke and fog,[2][4] or motel, from motor and hotel.[5] In linguistics, a portmanteau is defined as a single morph that represents two or more morphemes.[6][7][8][9]
Origin
The word portmanteau was first used in this sense by Lewis Carroll in the book Through the Looking-Glass (1871),[10] in which Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice the coinage of the unusual words in "Jabberwocky",[11] where slithy means "slimy and lithe" and mimsy is "miserable and flimsy". Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice the practice of combining words in various ways:
You see it's like a portmanteau—there are two meanings packed up into one word.

An occasional synonym for "portmanteau word" is frankenword, an autological word exemplifying the phenomenon it describes, blending "Frankenstein" and "word".[16]

"Natalie Portman's Shaved Head"
Got me thinking, "Shave for a cure..."
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
"Shave for a cure" is the perfect opportunity (for a worldfucker or agent thereof) to harvest dna(from hair), whilst capitalizing on celebrities who drastically alter their appearance... but, I digress
note: Although they conduct "blood cancer research", I am not accusing The Leukaemia Foundation of anything nefarious at this time, we're moving straight on from this.
note 2: Adam Darski(Nergal of Behemoth) was afflicted with Leukemia but survived after a bone marrow transplant from a willing donor(friend or family, if I recall correctly).
The Leukaemia Foundation is an Australian nonprofit organisation caring for and curing patients afflicted with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma, MDS, MPN, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinaemia, aplastic anaemia, amyloidosis, and related blood disorders.
History
Established in Queensland, Australia in 1975, the Foundation now has offices in all states and territories of Australia.[1]
Community Commitments
~ One of the foundation's fundraising events is "World Greatest Shave", in which participants have their heads shaved in support of leukaemia patients.[3]

"Rapunzel" (/rəˈpʌnzəl/; German pronunciation: [ʁaˈpʊnt͡səl]) is a German fairy tale in the collection assembled by the Brothers Grimm, and first published in 1812 as part of Children's and Household Tales.[1] The Grimm Brothers' story is an adaptation of the fairy tale Rapunzel by Friedrich Schulz published in 1790.[2] The Schulz version is based on Persinette by Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de La Force originally published in 1698[3] which in turn was influenced by an even earlier Italian tale, Petrosinella by Giambattista Basile, published in 1634.[4] Its plot has been used and parodied in various media and its best known line ("Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair") is an idiom of popular culture. In volume I of the 1812 annotations (Anhang), it is listed as coming from Friedrich Schulz Kleine Romane, Book 5, pp. 269–288, published in Leipzig 1790.

- Danae, daughter of King Acrisius and Queen Eurydice, who was shut up in a bronze tower or cave.
In Greek mythology, Danaë (/ˈdæn.i.iː/[1] or /ˈdæn.ə.iː/, as personal name also /dəˈnaɪ/, Greek: Δανάη Greek pronunciation: [daˈna.ɛː] Modern: [ðaˈna.i]) was the daughter, and only child of King Acrisius of Argos and his wife Queen Eurydice. She was the mother of the hero Perseus by Zeus. She was credited with founding the city of Ardea in Latium during the Bronze Age.
WHAT?! (I shit you not, I did not at all know that Argos is a real place)
Argos (/ˈɑːrɡɒs, -ɡəs/; Modern Greek: Άργος [ˈarɣos]; Ancient Greek: Ἄργος [árɡos]) is a city in Argolis, the Peloponnese, Greece and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.[citation needed] It is the biggest town in Argolis and a major center for the area.
Since the 2011 local government reform it has been part of the municipality of Argos-Mykines, of which it is a municipal unit.[2] The municipal unit has an area of 138.138 km2.[3] It is 11 kilometres (7 miles) from Nafplion, which was its historic harbour. A settlement of great antiquity, Argos has been continuously inhabited as at least a substantial village for the past 7,000 years.[4]:121- The city is a member of the Most Ancient European Towns Network.[5]
A resident of the city of Argos is known as an Argive (pronounced /ˈɑːrɡaɪv/, "AHR-gyv", or /ˈɑːrdʒaɪv/, "AHR-jyv"; Greek: Ἀργεῖος). However, this term is also used to refer to those ancient Greeks generally who assaulted the city of Troy during the Trojan War; the term is more widely applied by the Homeric bards.
Numerous ancient monuments can be found in the city today. Agriculture is the mainstay of the local economy.
History
After talks concerning the intentions of the Greek government to move the Greek capital from Nafplio to Athens, discussions regarding the possibility of Argos also being a candidate as the potential new capital became more frequent, with supporters of the idea claiming that, unlike Athens, Argos was naturally protected by its position and benefited from a nearby port (Nafplio). Moreover, it was maintained that construction of public buildings would be difficult in Athens, given that most of the land was owned by the Greek church, meaning that a great deal of expropriation would have to take place. On the contrary, Argos did not face a similar problem, having large available areas for this purpose. In the end, the proposition of the Greek capital being moved to Argos was rejected by the father of king Otto, Ludwig, who insisted in making Athens the capital, something which eventually happened in 1834.[16]

Ludwig I (also rendered in English as Louis I; 25 August 1786 – 29 February 1868) was king of Bavaria from 1825 until the 1848 revolutions in the German states.
Crown prince
Born in the Hôtel des Deux-Ponts in Strasbourg, he was the son of Count Palatine Maximilian Joseph of Zweibrücken (later Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria) by his first wife Augusta Wilhelmine of Hesse-Darmstadt. At the time of his birth, his father was an officer in the French army stationed at Strasbourg. He was the godson and namesake of Louis XVI of France.
On 1 April 1795 his father succeeded Ludwig's uncle, Charles II, as duke of Zweibrücken, and on 16 February 1799 became Elector of Bavaria and Count Palatine of the Rhine, the Arch-Steward of the Empire, and Duke of Berg on the extinction of the Sulzbach line with the death of the elector Charles Theodore. His father assumed the title of King of Bavaria on 1 January 1806.

I am somewhat speechless. The most shocking was the walnuts info and the head shaving (I am totally convinced they are doing this). Walnuts. Totally disgusting and it must come out and be told. I am totally convinced this is why there are so many Missing Black Children. Also why there are so many shootings of young Black Men. Where do most of these shootings occur. But also Missing Black Girls. Oh, the Horror of it all. They disgust me beyond what I can even explain. I have not any words horrible enough for them. Only Utter Hatred and Disgust.
