I'm a terrible person. Over the weekend, I went to a social function with "I'm on a Boat" (a popular song) as the theme. Individuals wore nautical clothing, sailor hats, etc. One group of girls decorated their own t-shirts quoting lyrics from the song.Although four of the girls had quoted the lyrics with as much grammatical accuracy as can be expected from rap lyrics, the fifth girl wrote "swim-trunks" instead of "swim trunks" on her shirt, and it bugged me all afternoon. "Swim trunks" does not need hyphenation - it is two separate words.
