I thought Charlie Gibson (or his writer) was coining a word on the
fly tonight when he was introducing an ABC News segment on the 5.5
million "Mompreneurs" and the many hats they wear as they conduct
their home businesses, via e-bay and other means. For better or
worse, there turn out to be "about 89,400" raw google hits for
"mompreneur". Gak. I'd go with "momtrepreneurs" myself, but that
one only has 906.
