[Lexicog] Pejorative suffixes (more-ish)

[Chaz and Helga Mortensen]

Nick, when we would play hockey in the street, the snow, ponds, icy
parking lots, wherever, the face-off was each of the centermen tapping
their sticks on the ground first, then against each other's stick (on
the shaft just above the blade). We did it three times, then went for
the puck/ball.
