Google hits as metric seem to mean less than ever. I've just chased to 
the far end of the Google searches: there were 75 pages total of hits 
for the first. And 77 pages of hits for the second. So just over 100% of 
uses on the Web for "portmanteau" are related to Wikipedia?

Google-watchers may know more, but the "raw" number of hits seems to 
collapse under some sort of screening and/or condensation, often by a 
factor of 1000.
