Ghoodminton

from Fancyclopedia 2 ca. 1959

(Willis) The game of heroes. It is played indoors on whatever table you have that is capable of bearing a ping-pong net across the middle and the shock of hurtling bodies. Scoring resembles that of more mundane tennis [Willis, the inventor, is a tennis fan too]. Only equipment beyond table and net: a badminton bird, some sort of rectangular device (to strike the bird with) and a lofty contempt for human life.
