Real word
This word was first used by Douglas Adams in 1978. It has a reasonable airing in real life (but don't let that put you off) and we should keep it.

It is not a protologism. It is old enough to go out and buy a beer. &mdash; Dizzley 07:46, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

hoopy
"Really together guy" (Douglas Adams' original definition) is not a suitable dictionary definition. If it is used other than by its author in the mouths of fictional characters, what does it mean? Citations? Equinox ◑ 10:47, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

frood
Almost certainly not used outside the context of the books. Maybe these should be moved to an H2G2 appendix? --Yair rand 22:30, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
