An Irish Times review used the word 'pubaurant' and people weren't having it
IN YESTERDAY’S IRISH Times, there was a complimentary review for Dublin restaurant/bar Marcel’s on Merrion Row.
As lovely as the review was, there was a word used in the headline that has sparked scenes across social media.
And that word was ‘pubaurant’
An obvious portmanteau between pub and restaurant might seem innocuous enough.
But it’s struck a nerve
Irish people have come together with a clear, unified voice on this important issue
Pubaurant might not catch on
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
It just hasn’t had a good debut weekend in Ireland
Some portmanteaus are more equal than others
This was bound to happen
The people have spoken.
