Keywords: Lewis Carroll | The Hunting of the Snark | ambiguity Screenshot from https://www.reddit.com/r/LewisCarroll/comments/1s6o0dg/comment/oddx3ir/ -------------------------- Just for information: The text below is part of an exchange of opinions elsewhere about whether "Boots" is a contraction of "Bonnets and Hoods" or not. -------------------------- This might be interesting for Carroll translators: There is a response to my question to Snark translators «How do translators maintain the ambiguity of lines #9 and #10 in Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark"?» 009　 The crew was complete: it included a Boots — 010　 　A maker of Bonnets and Hoods — 011　 A Barrister, brought to arrange their disputes — 012　 　And a Broker, to value their goods. In my view, "Boots" can be contraction of "Bonnets and Hoods". “Bonnets and Hoods” ➜ “Boots” Here “Boots” is a non-sequential interlaced portmanteau. To me, that's obvious. Nevertheless, I played a bit with the an command, which is an anagram builder under Linux. Executing the command for "Bonnets and Hoods" yields many words; therefore I filtered (with grep) all words which contain "boot": $ an -w 'Bonnets and Hoods' | grep boot bootees bootee's booths booth's bootee booted boots boot's booth boot --------------------------

um. idk if “snipe” as an art term exists outside of dsa HAHAAHA basically it’s just making surprise art and sending it without any formalities or arrangement. “sneekend” definitely is dsa-only and it refers to sniping people on the weekend #portmanteau

Bravo! #numberwang. This brilliant #portmanteau blends TWO words together to form a new word with a new meaning, completely appropriate.

Ever just come up with a ridiculous #portmanteau and start looking for a way to use it?

For no reason that makes sense, trafalgarithms popped out today. I mean, what? Navy battle strategies?

Care to add your own?

Damn you, Wilson Rawls. I haven’t read your book in more than 30 years and even now, thinking of it makes me cry.

This one also made me cry, but probably from boredom? I can’t rightly recall, except that it was quite upsetting and not my speed…
