OT: Sports terms you can't stand/are tired of.

[Travelman6]

Pick six - Ugh, just call it an interception already. Pick six sounds like a cheap 1 dollar scratch off lottery card you get at 7-11.

Cinderella/underdog team - Ya...time to think of something new people. The English language is a beautiful thing with many expressive words to describe this situation!

"Poster dunk"

Those are just three to start you off. What are sports terms you are tired of?

 

[WhereistheDove?]

You know a pick six is not the same as an interception, right?

 

[bazz&boujee]

pick six is sacred man

 

[Adios]

A pick six is an interception returned for a TD.

"At the end of the day, legacy." 7 words I cannot stand. So vain.

 

[Mano]

Taint (touchdown after interception) is better than Pick 6. I don’t know why they don’t use it.

“Johnson steps in the way for an interception! Could be a taint! One man to beat! It’s a taint, it’s a taint! Johnson with a taint!”

You’d think it’s the off season with some of these threads lately

We got some annoying breaks between games in this schedule. But yeah, it's still weird

Diaper dandies.

Upside.

Athleticism.

Generational.

Not a term but I hate how during NBA games the commentators gush “the lead was 20 now it’s down to 8!!!” Bruh, that’s literally the flow of every single NBA game

 

[JimHurley]

Exit velocity in baseball. A “football move” in football.

 

[Lefty2one]

"Dribble drive". Looking at you, Doris Burke. How the hell else are you driving to the hoop?

 

[Rocktheworld]

How about phrases we want to come back?

I want to hear “can of corn” in baseball again

This local Pittsburgh ad is for you.

 

[Madmannsucks]

You can throw at the record books for this one.

 

[Madmannsucks]

He gave 110 percent.

 

[Madmannsucks]

They're still trying out there.

 

[husky429]

A "plus" wingspan. Everyone has long arms when they are 6'11. Everything about them is large. What do you expect?

 

[ClifSpliffy]

'cover 2' and 'president emmert.' throw those two into the ocean.
on the udder hand, 'downtown' is one of the best terms in hoops, but it begs the question 'where/what is uptown on the floor?'

 

[Madmannsucks]

There's no quit in this bunch.

 

[superjohn]

“Calming influence” just means a 24 year old 6th year white point guard with no discernible skills.

A real hustler, probably a coaches son.

 

[methodology]

Exit velocity in baseball. A “football move” in football.

Exit velocity is a real thing it correlates to more hits and homeruns. Sabermetrics
