I never knew this was an actual word until recently.

Along with "athleticism". Sports broadcasts have introduce several new words into our lexicon.

 

[bulldogbaja]

Maintain contain.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

I believe sportscasters even introduced a new conjugation of the verb "dive," namely the past tense "dove." Before it was "he dived into the end zone," but now it's "he dove into the end zone."

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Don’t forget “high-pointed” the ball.

 

[o_Native Son]

It's been "run away" (usually from the cops) since the mid-1800's, though I rarely ever hear or read it.

 

[Bobby Ricigliano]

I don't think they made that one up.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

It is still a silly expression by the game announcers. Simply say the “dude reached up and plucked the pigskin out of the air before it flew into the stands”.

Sure, it's a word but I don't care for it because it sounds made up to me. I'm not sure it was a word 50 years ago. Might be a Howard Cosell invention.

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I'll pass

that's worse to me than when baseball announcers call a hit,... a knock.

.....BS!

 

[Bobby Ricigliano]

Goes back to 1835.

 

[was21]

Seems to me that when announcers referred to athleticism it usually had racial overtones whether intended or not and that's been going on for a long time

 

[mount lefroy]

Verb.

As in to cheez-it.

I’ll accept cheez-it if we can get the beep sound to replace “ trickeration”

 

[TheDawgOfWar]
