(one that presumes a stinking-rule is being *invented).Just to be clear is "we dun need no steenkin' rules" (choose one): 1) Musick's Dictum
2) Musick's Maxim
3) Musick's MantraIn retrospect, and in deference to my love for alliteration, I'm changing my vote to 3... Musick's Mantra. But I suppose the Mantra Maestro should just tell us himself.

Hubbub - said aloud it sounds like a babble.
Hub-bub said aloud, with the hyphen being a kind of glottal stop, just doesn't make it
I vote hubbub.

Let me climb on the hyphen-nyeting bandwagon too. If you try to put a hyphen into hubbub all it does is disrupt the hubbub. Leave it out, dash it all! No, better yet, _don't_ dash at all.

I like the hubbub just as it is. Let Juan hyphenate his if he wants. "Rules? We doan need no steenkin rules!"

I'm with tsuwm on the "hotwaterbottled" ommissionWhat "ommission"? That's the point...you can't be for or against this...this is Dylan Thomas' style, the way he intended this word he created to be to best capture the image he desires...it is because he, the author, decreed it is...there is no right or wrong...it just is...his choice, his work of art, his poetic license!

...and I was merely bemused by his choice in this nonce-word, after all those other hyphens. I guess he just ran out--or maybe he was a hyphenoclast.
