Boatercade - Where Did The Word Come From

[pelican]

With the Pope doing his harbour thing tomorrow all the news chanels are talking about his Boatercade. Is that a real word or did some dunce in a newsroom invent it as they use a boat instead of a car. Motorcade.

It's a boat , it's a group of boats - it's called a flotilla ???

I reckon a Boatercade is a formal parade where all the participants wear hardbodied straw hats.

Pel I reckon some Muppet in a newsroom is responsible... But here's a theory..

A convoy becomes a motorcade when its someone very ""ïmportant"" & flanked heavily by security yeh?

So flotilla becomes Boatacade under same circumstance?

Yet, its not called a caracade with a car, so really the ship should be refered to as a donkacade...

Lets face it, world youth day has lasted for a week... names & titles are obviously not as important as creating chaos in the city..and giving volunteers lightsabers....
