Interesting to learn the etymology of the word "portmanteau" from that reference.

 

In Lewis Carroll's book Through the Looking Glass, Humpty Dumpty explains that a portmanteau is a word with two meanings packed into one. In truth, a “portmanteau” is itself a portmanteau!
Its name is derived from combining the French words porter (meaning “to carry") and manteau (meaning “cloak”).

ome, if you cut that down to two straps it would look almost like the quart pot holder that hangs off your saddle.

Haven't seen a quart pot or holder since I was working on a Santa Gertrudis stud in Queensland in the early 70s.

When does a spanner become a wrench? When it goes to the USA?

[old man emu]

When does a spanner become a wench? When Elmer Fudd asks for one.
