Sarra - sorry I didn't even spell your name correctly in the previous comment. I don't know where my brain is. At any rate, here is a link to a post acknowledging my mistake. Thank you for pointing it out.

Right you are serra, I am embarrassed to have made that mistake. Though I still don't believe the dipthong carries any additional weight.

Not that Obama is truly a favorite word but it is an interesting name that possibly helped him win the election. See what I am talking about:

beecher commented on the word puck bunny
Wow, I forgot about Pokemon. Nice analogy though. So are you implying that moms who have kids that play hockey evolve into moms who have kids that play soccer? I would think it the other way around - only because hockey is so expensive and time consuming that if one started with hockey they wouldn't have time or money for soccer.
Mine only play baseball though, so what do I know.

All right, I give up, how is this a sports-related compound word? I know it is a Hootie and the Blowfish album but I am not familiar with any reference to sports. Clue me in?

As much as George W. gets ridiculed for using this non-word, I actually think it is an outstanding portmanteau and has every right to be considered a word.
