POMPOM/POMPON

To most people that fuzzy ball on the top of a knit hat and the implement wielded by a cheerleader

are both “pompoms,” but to traditionalists they are “pompons,” spelled the way the French—who

gave us the word—spell it. A pompom, say these purists, is only a sort of large gun. Though you’re

unlikely to bother many people by falling into the common confusion, you can show off your

education by observing the distinction.
