FLOHPA
n.— «While it’s perfectly logical for one to assume that the candidate who wins a majority of FL, OH and PA (or “flowpa” as we call this 68 EV-heavy virtual state), nothing should be assumed conventional.—With Bush renewing his focus on MI and continuing intensity in NH and MN, one can get Bush to 270 without ANY of the FLOHPA states.» —“The State Of Flohpa” The Hotline (Washington, D.C.) Oct. 28, 2004. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
