When did the word "hotdog" become one word?

I've always thought it was two words. I'm questioning my sanity at the moment. 馃

It's still two words. There might be some move to make it a portmanteau. Language changes. For now, though, I think it's still two words. Unless some big advertising campaign redefines it, and it sticks.

Do you know what a compound word means? Or are you from usa?

No, I have no idea. I understand the verb "to compound" but the small part of my brain which would comprehend this referring to words was removed after a near fatal yachting accident. Ironically, the yacht's name is Future Compound Word Imbroglio Brain Removal Yacht.

I guess I should have seen this coming! I should also fire my PA for including the word yacht in the name of my yacht.
