Oops! I missed the cite and the joke!
Footbag/hacky sack was in American Speech "Among the New Words" 64.2,
Summer 1989. However, the entry covers the 1982 book as the earliest
citation. The AS entry doesn't describe the game's two founders as the
website does, nor does it describe footbag terminology (such as "jester").
If you enter the footbag tournament this weekend, be aware that most
contestants will suffer the agony of de feet.
