Seasonal Word Abuse

[debka_notion]

TOmorrow is the day when we get tons upon tons of prefrosh. And I'm seeing interesting things done with the word, which is an odd enough one already (and I'm procrastinating)... SO, it started out as pre-freshman. The alternate flural for freshmen is, apparently frosh. So the plural of prefreshman is prefrosh. That said, presumably the sigular should be prefr esh, which I've heard, but which sounds weird. So now prefrosh is both plural and singular. ANd now I'm hearing prefroshes, which just seems redundant.

I've seen "frosh" used in the singular before. In print, no less. Granted, in a poem in a book of goofy math jokes, but why would they lie?
