6. ESPN announcers use it to describe trick plays in football
Edited on Sun Sep-04-05 10:08 PM by Stephist
It is just a pet peeve of mine that some announcers use the word "trickeration" all the time and it is not a word. kind of like "normalcy"

5. Trickeration
Edited on Sun Sep-04-05 10:04 PM by Mabus
"Trickeration" for Governor Schwarzenegger?

Is there an element of 'trickeration' hidden in the cried for Governor Schwarzenegger to 'announce' his campaign to return as governor of California?

Today, while reading the SF Chronicle's ridiculous 're-birth' of the San Jose pothole press conference, there was an item that caused me to consider, "what if the Gov announces himself a candidate, will he have to surrender the non-profit committees that have been established for the drive to the November ballot of reform?"

on edit: found one cite that attributed to Don King, re: boxing

on edit again: Cab Calloway, from an ad at http://www.eurocosm.com/Application/Products/Cd1/78131GB.asp
