Linguistic Syngery

The word "breakfast" is a pretty good word. It conjures good thoughts and feelings of home.

The same is true for the word "burrito". Who doesn't like burritos?

I submit to you that the expression "breakfast burrito" commands positive connotations and emotions that amount to much more than the sum of its parts.

    I've often pondered that "burro" in Spanish is "donkey." Adding "ito" to the end of a word means "little." So, a burrito is a "little donkey." A breakfast burrito is a little donkey that breaks your fast. How much more positive could it be?
