Rich: "Nasty" MoJet

[pap49cba]

Rich Elliott ‏@elliottctpost 5h
How nasty has #UConn PG @_BonnBonn been lately? She has 40 points, 26 assists, 3 turnovers and 19 steals over last 4 games. #bleedblue

I would probably never use the word "nasty" to describe a young lady, even if I were talking about her play.

She has been superb this year!

"MoJet" - I'm not sure if this has been around and I've missed it but ... it's perfect!

More's the pity. You'd miss out on some sick dribble moves. And some insane blocks. And some filthy blind passes.

Nasty dunks may be out of reach, so she can't bang on the defender, but she's one bad little player who breaks ankles on O while handcuffing the opponent on D.

And Rich is right. She's had wicked numbers lately.

She is the piece that makes this team run with High Octane.........I think we will see a different in the way Geno prepares this team for March with a trip to FlA, a trip to Texas, and final game in Louisville. Perfect way to head in the Mohegan Sun Arena for the AAC Championships.........

My comment was on the use of that word, not Jefferson's talent. I love watching Jefferson...very dynamic player.

So was mine.

Specifically, in basketball slang, the use of negative words, such as "nasty," to which you objected, to denote positive performance.

 

[Striper69]

She's pretty awesome but I don't know about "nasty"...

 

[RadyLady]

When something is good, or really cool, the common jargon is to call it "bad"

In the same vein, "nasty" is a compliment.

Or try this: Mushroom soup tastes great to some, and like warm, watery dirt to others. That doesn't make it bad....or does it?

 

[FollowerCT]

The Online Slang Dictionary has two positive definitions of “nasty”

1 - Excellent; impressive; cool, good, awesome, fun

2 - Skilled; talented

Wonder why Rich doesn't mention her blocks?

 

[HGN]

He must have 'blocked' the thought of blocks out of his mind.

 

[Zorro]

I thought it was a very sick post, JS.

You need to reestablish contact with young people. With them, nasty is commonly used form of vernacular, characterizing cool and/or very good.

 

[JS]

I'd like to think you're using slang, zorro.

But as regards my posts, that conclusion is hardly inevitable.

Thanks but no thanks. LOL

I'd be more inclined to associate "sweet" with her than "nasty".

 

[sarals24]

She's not very sweet when she plays.

 

[Icebear]

I thought it was a very sick post, JS.

But it seemed to go completely over the head of someone.

 

[meyers7]

Thanks but no thanks. LOL

Hope you don't need/expect help in your old age. Just sayin'.

I'd be more inclined to associate "sweet" with her than "nasty".

Not on the court.

My wife wondered if she was struggling a bit with the new sneakers. She seemed to have been slipping more in the Temple game. A little less jet and more prop plane.

 

[BearJWS]

Ok, she is "nasty-nasty"... a double negative makes a postive... now everyone is happy.

 

[RadyLady]

Now what was that?

 

[easttexastrash]

I will leave that to Doris Burke. She seems to have a firm grasp on using the slang that the young-uns use.

 

[rocky rococo]

She's not very sweet when she plays.

I think her game is totally sweet. She's a total _BonnBonn!

I don't think I've ever heard anyone use the word 'nasty' when talking basketball. 'Sick' yes. But not 'nasty'.

 

[Bestiarius]

"MoJet" - I'm not sure if this has been around and I've missed it but ... it's perfect!

I believe I coined the term on this site. Just seemed like a natural. Anyone have a reference older than 11/4/13?

You need to keep up. It is pretty common today.

 

[Zorro]

I believe that "nasty" is a term that has long been attached to curve balls, splitters and sometimes change-ups.

 

[Icebear]

Yes, the big nasty is tough to hit.

I know it's common. I've just never heard someone say it.
