Ask Metachat: Stoved Finger & Silly Office Thing [More:]

I slammed my finger in the door tonight and thought OMG I just stoved my finger! This is a term from elementary school with little google back up. What were we trying to say? (70's).

What would be a good "team name" for my dept. at work for a Super Bowl party/competition? We will have some blue and gold (yellow) band outfits and a paper football kicking squad. Fan Band? Can you do better? I bet you can.

Thanks.
Looks like it might be a form of "stave"

verb [ trans. ]
1 ( past and past part. staved |steɪvd| |steɪvd| or stove |stōv| |stoʊv| |stəʊv|) ( stave something in) break something by forcing it inward or piercing it roughly : the door was staved in.

My ER nurse mother and pharmacist father always referred to it as a "stowed" finger.
