The word discussed by friends at a Sunday night dinner last week was "hoax." It's a timely word in this current political climate. The word likely comes from "hocus" as in "hocus-pocus." It's used both as a noun meaning malicious deception and as a verb, "to cheat or swindle."
Hoaxes, in fact, are second cousins to folkloric stories known as Urban Legends, too-good-to-be-true experiences that are often said to have happened to a friend of a friend—FOAF for short.

In the 76th minute, the well conceived passing attack provided forward Karli Yoshida-Willians the chance to knock home the lead goal for Mt. Rainier after an up ball.
Although the Conquerors remained dangerous, the Ram passing attack backed by a rejuvenated defense kept Kentwood on its heels for most of the remaining minutes.
