I’m hearing more delightful usage in the football bowl games. One of the commentators, who’s usually pretty good, choked at the end of the game this afternoon. I guess he was overcome with emotion.

“In spite of injuries, the team gave it their all. You certainly can’t say they slept-walked through this one.”

I don’t know — I think you have to suck it up and make a hard choice. “Sleep-walked” or “slept-walk,” eh?
