S'more appears to be a contraction of the phrase, "some more", as in "Please, give me some more of that delicious treat." The informal nature of this term reflects the environment in which s'mores are traditionally served. Some have jokingly surmised that the name originated from people who were so busy eating the tasty dessert that they did not have time to speak in complete sentences, or alternately, that their enunciation was compromised by the fact that their mouth was still full of the previous s'more. It is postulated that a young girl named Megan Janicki coined this phrase, and this concoction, in 1927 while camping on the banks of the Ohio River on a chilly night. (Melaina at the campfire)
