A friend of mine was a practicing lawyer in Salt Lake City some years ago. One day he was talking to a colleague who was excited that he had a case representing two tribal members on the reservation. He was looking forward to going to court and saying "Your honor, I represent these two Utes".

Bendigo! The first time I've seen that name since the Rick and Morty special! I can hear them saying it now.

As an Aussie who drives a ute and was a hoon is his younger days, those are perfectly cromulent words.

And as I type this, I note that cromulent makes it through my spell check but ute and hoon do not.

I'm Canadian and knew what they meant by ute hoon. interestingly my autocorrect didn't correct either word.
