What’s cool is how English then adds those loanwords or portmanteau back into its lexicon like karaoke or, as I’m seeing more recently, egg sando. I really love how languages do that.

  Reminder English will happily mug other languages for words, if they are handing new ones out for free? It’s gonna take that new word and run with it.
