Weejun

Hi, when I was looking for portmanteau words, I found weejun which is said to come from " Norwegian, ***". I don't know what it means. On Yahoo, I found many items containing weejun are related to shoes. What is exact meaning of weejun? Thank youEmotion: smile

Is Reebok also a portmanteau?
I don't understand how Norwegian, *** and shoes related to one another.

No, I don't think it is... As far as I know!
Well "***" could be the phonetic spelling of "Indian". But as to the relation with Norwegian and shoes...

"Weejuns" are a particular style of shoe made by the Bass company - but I have no idea where the name comes from. Sorry!
