Twike is a portmanteau of the words twin and bike.
It carries two people + cargo and can be driven in electric-only or electric + pedal power modes.
Tesla who?
π©βπ« Portmanteaus are created when you take parts of multiple words and combine them into a new word.
Not to be confused with compounds β which is the smushing of two whole words together, so:
βStarfishβ is a compound of star and fish, while βsmogβ is a portmanteau of smoke and fog.
Awesomesauce!
π The word portmanteau was coined by Lewis Carroll in Through the Looking-Glass.
Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice the coinage of unusual words: Slithy means "slimy and lithe" and mimsy means "miserable and flimsy" :)
Mirrors are one of the motifs in Through the Looking-Glass.
πͺ Mirror writing is text meant to be read through a mirror.
Ambulances and fire engines use it so you can clearly see what the heck all that noise is behind you while driving.
