Deke is an ice hockey term that originated in Canada. It originates from decoy referring to a bird or mammal, or a fake one, used by hunters to attract other birds or mammals. To deke in ice hockey means the technique of drawing an opposing player out of position or when a player skates by an opponent while maintaining possession and control of the puck. A love deke is a term I've invented to describe when a person falls in love with the idea of someone they meet only to find out there's more to that person than they expect. ======================================================================== Carrie Murphy took a year off after graduating top of her class in medical school to care for her dying father.
