Saint Grottlesex

Saint Grottlesex

Today I learned two things:

1) A portmanteau is a blend of two or more words, that morphemes into one new word. (This will be incredibly useful on the day I decide to take the GRE and/or never.)

2) “Saint Grottlesex” is a portmanteau that refers to several New England boarding schools.

Then, I felt crestfallen because no picture of the vividly-named-but-ultimately-imaginary Saint Grottlesex exists.
