"S****ts" could be compounded from the existing roots.  What
constitutes a "s****t" is often up to interpretation.  I know
some that don't consider golf a "s****t".  Pool?  Well, I play
lot of pool, but consider it a "game" not a "s****t" as such.
The worst stretch of "s****t" is poker which has been shown on
s****ts channels a lot lately.

I'm not a lojbanist, nor do I really care much for the language
though there are a couple of features I do like.  One is the
choice of semantics (with a few exceptions. Tthe other is the
predicate logic.  I hate the CVCCV/CCVCV word shapes, the
allomorphs, and most everything else.
