-Hot Skitty On Wailord Action, often shortened to HSOWA, refers to the fact that {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Wailord}} can [[Breeding|breed]] in the games despite their size difference, due to both being in the {{egg3|Field}}.
+The fan term '''HSOWA''' is an acronym that stands for '''Hot Skitty On Wailord Action'''. It is derived from the fact that {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Wailord}} can {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} in the {{pkmn|games}} despite the massive size difference. It has reached cult status on some message boards.
+The term originates from GameFAQs where, when this topic came up, the user 'Endgame' reportedly said "HOT SKITTY ON WAILORD ACTION!". The name then stuck.
+The reason why Wailord is included in the {{egg3|Field}}, the same group Skitty is in, in the first place is likely because whales are mammals, like most other Pokémon in the Field group.
 ====IV breeding====
 Intentionally [[breeding]] Pokémon to have a specific {{IV}} or set of IVs.
