I wanted to check the Sporting News for "hindoo"/"hindu" for "do over." AOL
returns _www.paperofrecord.com_ (http://www.paperofrecord.com) with "can't
find the web site."

Hindoo: A do-over during a game. It also refers to a funny bounce in
handball. If the ball hits where the wall meets the ground, and bounces back in a
slow high arc, that ball was a "hindoo" and not to be played, thus leading to a
do-over.
