PastorVon member Registered: 12/30/08 Posts: 107 Loc: USA, North Carolina	Originally Posted By: tsuwm mathematicaster = adder who can't sum (my others were even worse) Might it be an adder that cannot fish; or an adder that will not strike? But, then you have another portmanteau -- is that right? Can a portmanteau be a word with two utterly different meanings? Edited by PastorVon (03/25/09 07:46 PM) Edit Reason: word left out
