| Feb 1, 2018 at 23:53 | comment | added | MetaEd | @Kevin One of the things Edwin Ashworth is asking you to do is fully identify your source in the answer itself, not just as a link. See: english.stackexchange.com/help/referencing | |
| Feb 1, 2018 at 23:49 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | The paucity of relevant internet examples for eg "driving-fu" argues against it being 'an idiom' at the moment. It's not seen in reputable dictionaries, and OP doesn't add the tag 'slang'. I can't find a single one for "birdwatching-fu" or "baby[-]sitting-fu". / An attribution is more than a citation; you need to spell out where you take your reference from. | |
| Feb 1, 2018 at 22:57 | comment | added | Kevin | @EdwinAshworth my own experience confirms it as common, at least in several regions of the US, and the OP confirmed it's the specific term he was looking for. If you can find a better citation, feel free to edit it in or tell me and I'll do so. | |
