Subject: Please advice
Пожалуйста, помогите перевести последнее слово - pogosticks

Слово встречается в следующем контексте:

"If we did all the things we are believe in, the world would have more pogosticks."

Я думаю это что-то вроде "Lunatic" - душевнобольной, помешанный, сумасшедший...

Заранее спасибо
