[MichaelW2]

Bake. It's a verb not a noun.

 

[Chromatic]

I can't recall the word for two half words joined together to make a new one, someone will soon tell me, but Infotainment annoys me...

Portmanteau words.

 

[MichaelW2]

As if.

As said by skanky woman to timid man

Awful isn't it?

What's wrong with "roll out";
Chriisy Z will roll out her new album to all popular platforms on Thursday.

Can I have "pick up" then?

Verb. Used instead of buy, purchase, or acquire by exchange of monies. (most often online)

 

[CanucksTraveller]
