Anytime I hear an accomplished bagpipe player, I think of their poor parents who had to endure the early days of the learning process, and wonder how they survived it.
Fortnight isn't compound at all in this sense. It comes from the old English for fourteen nights. 'Fort' may be a word, but not relevant or compound here at all. Parachuter is a clumsy word for parachutist.
To be pedantic (obviously) a mandate is what a candidate/party recieves as the result of a victory from an overwhelming majority vote, it does not refer to the vote itself.
I got a few other words that can be included: baseball, basketball, football, policeman, policewoman, nightlife, motorcycle, airport, seaport, airline, airplane, runway, freeway, filmmaker, bodysuit, dressmaker, drinkable, masterpiece, bartender, timekeeper, Brownsville, barkeep, "catdog" (from the late 90s show), fastbreak, breakfast and etc...
Who would have guessed that bagpipes are considered to be a musical instrument.
As with many other commenters I have never heard of a 'nightstick'. It doesn't sound very nice!
