Commentary:
Here's a fetching example of how a clever portmanteau can brighten one's gloomy spirits by bringing splashes of class and delight to even the most quotidian of tasks. Today's term and others like it inspire tantalizing opportunities to assert your intellectual dominance through confusion and condescension. So use them often!

With consideration to the fact that today's term is a homophone of "kiosk," it may be necessary to alter one's pronunciation slightly when using "keyosk" in speech. This will act as a verbal cue to helpstaff and hirelings that you're using a new term and not simply saying "kiosk." I suggest elongating the first syllable, as in this phonetic spelling: keeeeeeeey-osk. It may also be helpful to gesture with your hands as if holding a house key or even the key to your own bedroom and turning it in a lock. These emphases, in addition to context clues, should make your admirable portmanteau usage abundantly clear to even the densest of personal attendants.
