MUnispotting? Question form the lexicopgrapher

Greetings

Unicycling terminology is growing quickly. Is “MUnispotting” used often and do you think it has become
estanlished enough for inclusion in the unicycling dictionary, or is it a mere hapax legomenon (also known
as a nonce word or inkhorn term)?

No, I wouldn’t say so at all. MUnispotting has never been used as a word, as such, but only as a rip-off title of a set of t-shirts Phil and I are making. It has no real definition and very limited application so I don’t think it would be practical to try and define it and incorperate it into a definitive volume of “new words.”

Later,
Eli.

MUnispotting is a play on the movie Trainspotting.
<http://movieweb.com/movie/trainspotting/&gt;
The MUnispotting t-shirt being made is a takeoff on one of the themes in the move. Instead of choosing life the choice is to choose MUni. The movieweb link kind of explains the choose life theme.
