Explanation:
You know about bookkeeping and related words (including casebookkeeper, scrapbookkeeper, sketchbookkeeper), including the winner of the prize in the category of ordinary words: subbookkeeper.
But you might not know about:
- barroommate : drinking companion
- balloonness, bassoonness, buffoonness, raccoonness : abstract state of being a balloon, bassoon, buffoon, or raccoon
- boottool : a tool for repairing boots.
- If you’ve mislaid yours, you are boottoolless.
- But you could use a boottoollike substitute.
- cooee-ee, hallooee, tattooee, etc. :
- one summoned by a cry of cooee! or halloo!, the recipient of a tattoo, etc.
- brookkeeper, creekkeeper : gamekeeper of fish
- nookkeeper, rookkeeper, spookkeeper, etc. :
- one in charge of a nook, a rookery, a group of spies, etc.
- underrookkeeper : assistant to the keeper of a rookery
- feeddoor : the aperture of a wood-burning stove
- greenneedle : a type of grass
- jibboommaker : one who makes jibboom spars
- hookkeeper : one in charge of hooks. Specifically:
- fishhookkeeper : one in charge of fishhooks.
- maxillooccipital : pertaining to the jaw (maxilla) and hindskull (occiput)
- sheeppoodle : offspring of a German shepherd and a poodle
- wheelloose : jocular term for a footloose amputee or paraplegic
- In addition to the above are silly concocted words like:
- beerroommooddoommoottoollooter : A person whose theft of tools makes irrelevant the killing of your urge to meet up with your beerhall barroommates.
Proper nouns include the Cookkoo-oosee (an indigenous people of Oregon) or Woolloomooloo (a place in Australia), formerly spelled Woolloommoolloo.
