It is.
It’s a portmanteau of lesbian and nyan.
Wow and you just taught me the definition of “portmanteau” in context too. I never really knew what that word meant but it sounds like a big fancy wooden piece of furniture.
It’s a piece of luggage actually. Fun fact Portmanteau is itself a portmanteau of porter (to carry) and manteau (mantle).
That IS a fun fact 😃 you just had me go down a 5 minute rabbit hole.
"Just how did a 19th century French suitcase come to represent a unique category of words? It was Lewis Carroll that provided the connection. In his children’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”)."
It’s also one of those.
