Q: What does flotsAMalgamation mean?

Q: How do you pronounce it?

Q: When can I read it?

A: FlotsAMalgamation is an original portmanteau, a word I created by smashing two words together and latching them together like an old suitcase. Flotsam: all the cargo and debris left bobbing in the water after a shipwreck PLUS Amalgamation: a bringing together, uniting separate parts into a stronger whole. I have also stylized the AM to emphasize the point of connection and the importance of 'being'.

FLOT (rhymes with HOT) + some + AL (like the man's name) + guh + MAY + shun.

It gallops along and is pretty fun to say once you get the hang of it.

FlotsAMalgamation: a love story will be available soon! Final edits underway.
