Football Lingo/Sayings That Annoy You

[The Original Swooper]

We need to make changes has become we need to change it "up" Does anyone change it "down". ?

 

[demondavey]

That's racist

So was that comment.....bigot

I think everything in that context has 'up' associated with it. Mix it up, wait up, change it up...

 

[Anja_Nees]

Inappropriate use of the present tense (which has been creeping into Bigfooty users' posts).

Example: after Adelaide has just lost a game with Eddie Betts out of the side, "if Betts plays, Adelaide win." No, if Betts had played, Adelaide would have won.

If you don't want annoying commentators listen to the ABC radio call.. simple old school broadcasting.
if you want flogatry at its best listen to triple M

K Rock commentary > all others.

I loathe when someone mentions "chocolates", as in, the Hawks took home the chocolates or Sydney should get the chocolates. I think i hear it every week moreso on radio.

Why the F**k are teams bringing home chocolates and why the F**k would they care about playing for Chocolates, And what type of chocolates are they anyway? Are we talking about Red Tulip Easter eggs or a whittakers hazelnut slab?

And what about games in Brisbane and Perth? These so called chocolates would melt and be rendered useless anyway

Must be talking about Aldi chocolate.

So do we all know what an idiom is? A colloquialism?

Yes we do


We just don't like them.

 

[Big Animal]

"you'd want him in the trenches beside you" or something similar but just as offensive.

We already have our armed forces and returned soldiers past and present to admire thank you very much. You know, the ones that have actually put their lives on the line for others. Not just some bloke who plays a footy match for 2h on a weekend, 22+ weeks a year, and the remainder of the time, keeps the Instagram account updated with pics of their latest sunglasses, T-shirt range, or French Bulldog; or at the local with a smashed something and latest means for ingesting coffee/

By Hand and By Foot

would love to see footage of Dwayne's co-commentators when he made that honey comment. Reaction would be priceless.

 

[sataris]

Early doors

What the **** is an early door?

Someone who arrives before the party starts.

So do we all know what an idiom is? A colloquialism?

A colloquial metaphor.

[StillAtLarge]

"He's on the right side for a left footer"

 

[The Final Word]

Which is the right side

 

[StillAtLarge]

Which is the right side

Is it? Is it the right side for franklin?

This 100%. Whenever anyone makes a war reference it makes me disgusted. AFL players are no where NEAR 'going to war'. ****ing hell it makes me so mad, pure disrespect to people who put their lives on the line for our country/hell any country.

Arches the back.. are they having sex?

Stick fat
Hit up

Deplorable americanisms, both.

 

[Cold Sober]

' Good catch' ,
'Go around the fat side'
'They've come to skinny side'
' His hands were so quick you couldn't see him pass the ball'
What am I watching, AFL or a f...... porno.
