Dodgsonian portmanteau

From online source:

"Portmanteau isn't that elite of a concept; any non-English major who manages to pass my sophomore poetry survey (from Beowulf to Brooks, in 15 weeks!) will define it on the midterm, and get a couple extra exam points for making one up. Now, I'd be more inclined to believe Palin wrote her own defense of the word if she'd cited Lewis Carroll, but yeah, even state university Comm majors might read a little Shakespeare."
