When armwrestling was on the Simpsons, one of the jokes was, one of Homers opponents only losses was to literacy. The fact that we belong to the OAA, and the CAWF - contributes to that!
In the dictionary, the word armwrestling, doesn't exist, so, for that matter, right now, technically, it's arm wrestling.
I think it should be one word though.

Joe is right in saying that "armwrestling" is not in the dictionary however, in order for it to one day be in the dictionary, we must first begin the transition by referring to it as "arm-wrestling". Certain words and phrases tend to evolve from separation to linkage. The trend in English is for frequently used word combinations to "grow together" from two words to one, sometimes passing through a hyphenated stage. The two-word phrase "data base", for example, is now most commonly written as one word: "database". Arm-Wrestling: Let The Evolution Begin =) jmo

Just for the record, my comment about the OAA and the CAWF, I meant in a haha way, not a fight the power way. It's comical.

They are all better than armwrstln!
For Arm Melter 4, the bar asked me what I wanted on the sign, I requested, specifically...
ARM MELTER 4 ARMWRESTLING OCTOBER 4TH
They put...
PROARM WRESTLN 4TH ROUND
That's comical, eh?
