I know now what portmanteau means in English, thank you [livejournal.com profile] copperbadge - and the explanatory thread that followed the entry.

And then I spent 3 hours obsessively wondering what the plural of porte-manteau was. (Thank you, dear Grévisse. More on the Grévisse and the evil dictée de Pivot to follow.)

In other, more important news: Froglet is going back to school tomorrow.

And she doesn't want to go.

la rainette: why not?
Froglet: Becasue I'll have another teacher! I loved my teacher so much!
la rainette: well, you'll make new firends, too.
Froglet: But I don't want anymore friends! I have enough! I can't invite that many people to my birthday party!

No, and we'll talk about that later. Like, when your birthday is near. In 2005.

Anyways, my lovely friends out there: my Froglet would need a little word of encouragement tonight, so if you have 5 mintues, please send her a word... I'll print them out for her, she'll be delighted, and honoured, and she needs all the support she can get right now...

In more news: I have to go now, because I am the only person here able to deal with EBIL ONIONS (I always knew contact lenses had their good points). I'll answer all the previous comments tomorrow, hopefully (I have many things to tell you guys, but so little time, WAH!).
