Explanation:
Klinkt wel leuk, die dubbele -o. 'Ersatzfilmbobo' kan ook. Of de combinaties met '-filmbons'.

disagree  Anthony Michils: 'wannabe' is een jong, hip woord voor iemand die een filmbons wil zijn, maar het zeker niet is (en het misschien nooit zal worden). 'in spe ' houdt te veel het positieve in van op de goede weg te zitten.

  -> mja, als je nr betekenis kijkt, kan het toch: VD: 'spe' in de bijwoordelijke verb. 'in spe', 'verhoopt, gewenst'
