Slang: 13 Funny Word Mash-Ups in English
Word mash-ups are slang terms made of two words to describe something in more detail. For example,brunch is a combination of “breakfast” and “lunch”, and it means a meal that combines both breakfast and lunch foods. In this lesson, I will teach you many common word mash-ups that native English speakers use, such as hangry, skort, shart, ginormous, spork, sexting, and more. Many of these words are so common that they are almost considered standard English vocabulary, so it is important to know them. You can even create your own word mash-ups, and maybe they will become popular! At the end of the lesson, test your knowledge by doing the quiz, and don’t forget to submit your own ideas for new word mash-ups in the comments section!

love it!
can we say ‘sismance’?
Strangely, no. We really should be able to.
I think you are as unhappy as me in these days ! Everything in this site changes in a bad way and you don’t mind!
What does Chang in a bad way?
Mostly I know you and the others by the photo . They are being changed all the time !! I don’t know the reason ! Do you know? This problem is not new .
Hmmmm. I don’t know too.
Hi Ronnie,
When I watched your video, I thought that word, BREXİT
British and Exit
Thank you for your lesson.
That´s right!!
It happens as well with GREXIT
Greece and Exit
BREXIT
Britain (not british) + EXIT
Can you see that
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brexit
“British” and “exit” …It’s right .
Thanks Ronnie!!!
I´m a KNOPFAN (Knopfer fan) and a very good STUENG (Student of English).
Hope to see you again soon ;)
Sismance = Sister + Romance
Hahaha
Police + officer = Policer
Wow, what a cool challenge you appointed Ronnie. It was an interesting lesson, thank you.
Hey there guys. How are you going to combine words????? What new slangs will you make???
What about RUPER??? I mixed rude and person together. I don’t know wether it’s good or not.
Hi. it’s ok !
hey guys,dont combine everything with everything,making up new words is fine,but inventing nonsense is not!
You are right. But it’s only for fun !
This word-inventing can’t be stopped! :P
Yes, it is an egg-dance!
I’ve been thinking all night long. But could hardly imagine the only mash-up: petman – an animal lover, domestic animals- pets.
Good teacher makes his students be attentive at lessons, but the great one encourages them to study hours afterwards.
So did Ronnie. Thank you.
it seems that you are always afraid of rudE words.why?
Excuse me SKIKDA. I couldn’t understand your words. Could you please explain it clearer??? I mean why do you think so??? If you enlighten me, I will answer you. Thanks.
ronnie you are’slanowledgebale’ teacher it means a person knwolegebale about slang, it’s just a word i create i would ask engVid to webcast this ginormous creactive word in this webtiquette site. ha ha ha just a joke.
What an iInteresting lesson ! I try to make new slangs like them !
you just could say happy and funny and it will be ‘YOU ARE HANNY SOEI ” literally it’s not corect but in pronounce it’s right. bye
Really ?! I didn’t know .
Soei, do you speak Turkish too?
Yes, but not your Turkish !
:) ok! I love your culture very much!
what do you mean by not his Turkish?
Yes she’s right.
In Iran we have many people who speak Turkish . But it is different from the Turkish language which is spoken in Turky . In some caces they are similar.
Ronnie!
What a weird lesson :=) But funny.
Hi Gays,
Could anybody sugest me where can I find subscrib my e-mail for a new episod of EngVid.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Ronnie, congratulations, it was a great lesson like always :D I created some new slangs in english :D
gayting = gay + dating :D
drinksting = drinking + tasting…)
and the last one maybe pussialist = pussy + specialist :D a guy who knows a lot about this thing xD
How did it go ? :D
haha
It’s not as intersting as I told . After I saw the movie ,I changed my idea . First I said my idea only based on the questions.
Really??? How interesting!!!!?
Yes !
Dear Soei. Do you mind if I ask a question? I’m so curious to know where you teach.In which institute do you teach? In your profile you mention you’re from Tehran, that’s why I ask. (But if you like,answer. There’s no necessity.)
I teach in a high school in Tehran.
that’s great .
Hi. What is great? ? Being a teacher or teaching in Tehran ?
I know you asked amirrezaee, but I answer too. In my opinion both of them are great.
Being a teacher ….and you write very nice &smart
That’s kind of you.
you’r welcome
Well, it was a easy lesson with only thirteen words though some of them are a little weird for someone who doesn’t listen them before. Other Mash-ups examples may be, “frankenwords”, “guesstimate”, “webinar”, among others. Thanks a lot, teacher Ronnie, a very funny lesson.
It’s a gorgeous lesson. Love this stuff a lot.
even studying risk management and Crisis Management can’t help you be safe of shart!
I think like you …..I live in your city too…I live around shohada square ..
same city
Thanks Ronnie. This is a very good lesson. Even the test was easy I got 10. Slang words are very important for the learners because natives use them more often when they are speaking. Please continue to teach us more slang words and also reduced words. Thanks.
I am in Somalia so when UN send peace keeping forces to my country the media reports say “armysom” kkkkkkk
“fantabulous”=fantastic
fantabulous

It will be really great when I can mash up English words as easy as the Russian ones.
First of all i wanna give u thank and at the same time i really appreciated you for your nice lesson that i had ever seen . Really apprecitable job you have done.
I was wondering yoi if you provide this type of lesson once again.
Thank you so much.
thank you Ronnie…you are really fun…I like you
Thank you Ronnie..
thanks ronnie
thank you My Ronnie (i use My Ronnie to indicate that it is a pleasure to listen to you)
Very interesting lesson Ronnie, thanks!
Very interesting lesson, Ronnie. In my opinion, it is very useful to all “engarners” to learn slang. Thank you so much. “ENGARNER” is my word mash-up, it means “ENGLISH LEARNER”.
hello ,everyone
thank you for lesson
Hallow teacher. Another interesting video!. I don’t want to be a rude person but I’m not sure if it worth to learn slangs and use them in a conversation with my friend; I mean, I can’t see myself trying saying thing like “What’s up Bro!” or something like that. I think a lot of people use them and it’s fine, however, in my case, I just want to know what they mean but I wouldn’t like to use them because possibly an Englishman might feel offended if I try to imitate his language.
I love you because you great thanks.
great lesson ! well done :)
Very well lesson thanks Ronnie
Thanks Ronnie for the lecture…
Fantastic lesson even if out of the ordinary,at least for now
that is great but iam afraid that i doonot understand the other’s mash up
