Scaredness. And you want to be a cricket commentator

While he could have taken the safe option and used 'fear', the noun form of 'scared', a maverick like Warner strives to achieve the impossible: transforming an adjective into a noun with the casual addition of the suffix 'ness'. It's brave.

It's worse when it's commentators, the people who are paid to get stuff like that right. And the air they put on - like it's the player's fault for having an unusual name.

Yayger O'Meara is always a good one... spot the bogan.

Yayger O'Meara is always a good one... spot the bogan.

To be fair, Yayger is the correct pronounciation in German.

You pretty much need a translation card for Channel 7. Especially when that fwit Brayshaw is on.

Here are basic footy terms you won't hear anymore - distance, kick, mark.

What you will hear:

Journey - distance
Ball - kick (a Brayshaw speciality)
Clunk - mark (a real atrocity that one)

Also, I've noticed there are never poor, bad or inaccurate kicks anymore. It's always "poor execution".

 

[peternorth]

"he'd be disappointed with that"

 

[MauroFogheri]

Wayne Hawkes: "its the sort of sport where we'd like to take our opposition and hang 'em...not literally"...

"Ball", also a BT'ism for "holding the ball, incorrect disposal.
Drives me up the wall.

Late in the Anzac Day coverage, a Collingwood player just failed to keep the ball from rolling out of bounds.
Brian Taylor: "He's run out of tarmac."

Question.

When did "footy club" or "club" get replaced by "our program?"

"He/she will be a great fit for our program."

 

[MauroFogheri]

Lloyd just now, "...on Tuesday - sorry, yesterday. Yep...." Bless

Fox reporter talking about Brisbane lions: “they’re flying on all cylinders”

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Montagne said, a couple of times, that so-and-so was “lackadaisical”; I thought, hooray! he’s been reading Bigfooty! Then a bit later, “Bloggs is laconic…”

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Can someone tell me if there’s such a word as “coronated”? I’ve heard it several times. Shouldn’t it be “crowned?

"1 wood" shits me no end

I think “Coronated” is waking up seedy after too much Mexican beer

Amen!!! They have no idea what that means, other than thinking its your strength.

[FreddyTwoShoes]

Did Tom Browne just say rereparation? I think he was going for reparation.
Close enough I guess, for a “journo”.

Dunkley on Seven tonight said the Lions are allowed to play with “freeedness”.
