Indeed, I checked up on HOTROD after time -- it's only listed as two words. A shame!
Geoff/Sam, I am surprised by GOATISH. You could add -ISH to just about any animal; unless it has a different meaning as in 'acting the goat'?
Mike: I regarded GOATISH as a risk, but decided to chance it. I think you make a good observation that the Macquarie would probably not list it without an alternative meaning, though. In this case, in addition to "like a goat", the meaning "lustful" is listed. So that's probably why it gets an explicit mention.
Thanks Geoff.
