cuposaurus
blending noun
Ultimate frisbee trick play in which all seven players on defence crowd in a circle around the offensive player who has the disc. Often accompanied by waving arms and shouts of 'cuposaurus' from the defence, and 'disc space' from the offence.
Etymology : blending between 'cup' and affix '-osaurus'. In ultimate frisbee, 'cup' refers to a number of players, most commonly 2, 3, or 4, who surround the player with the disc in a zone defence. Possibly the dinosaur name suffix refers to the roaring noise that seven yelling players make.
