A ''portmanteau'' (or ''portmanteau word''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmanteau]) is when two words or names are combined to form one word. Used for pairings in fandoms like [[Smallville]] and [[Popslash]].
For example, Clark/Lex becomes [[Smallville/Pairing Names | Clex]], while Justin Timberlake/Chris Kirkpatrick becomes [[Popslash/Pairing names | Timbertrick]].
