The train goes like this
Neologism
Portmanteau
Eggcorn
Spoonerism
(subsequently Kniferisms & Forkerisms)

We used to have this book called Sniglets around when I was a kid. No duh.
Language is so awesome.
I also realized that Patsy Cline’s “I Fall To Pieces” was played for me after I saw the movie E.T. and apparently I hadn’t heard the word “pieces” until I heard the brand name Reese’s Pieces, and so that song will forever remind me of E.T. I can’t believe that a candy taught me a word, or taught me of a word.
I also used to think that my last name, Davison, reminded me, or made me think of either a medicine cup, or the word “medicine cup”.
Kids are craaaazzzzyyyyy.
