I think "lukecool" hasn't become a word for the simple reason that it has a double-k sound that doesn't jive aurally--it either sounds like two words, or one of the k's is dropped, or a small vowel has to be inserted between them. So you end up with:

- lou-cool

- look cool

- luka-cool

So linguistically it's as unstable as a rural juror.
