Verbal Faux Pas, Jargon, Cliches, Boganisms, etc

[SuperMal]

The phrase "in and around" is the latest trend. "In and around the ball" (Wot??) "In and around the contest", etc.

The cretin Tom Morris said he'd been speaking to people "in and around" Dustin Martin.

Whoever got ‘in’ Dusty must like it rough…

on Sportsday, talking about a player, said he was “setting the lights out”.
I think he meant “shooting the lights out”.

BT: "He took the risk he shouldn't of"

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

What does "Laces it out" mean?

 

[MauroFogheri]

Really like Daniel Garb but his "free kick...he ran too far - without taking a bounce!!" was a little like when you're educating your new asian girlfriend about the game

When did "learnings" replace "lessons"? Do these people call football "kickings"?

The other day, Kane Cornes repeatedly referred to Ross Lyon's media fanboys as "fan-bearers". Fan-bearers were the people who fanned royalty and other rich dudes in ye olde days when it was hot....so, I guess it could fit

With all this talk of nuclear, let's see who can't pronounce the word.

I've heard "nucular" from a surprising number of people.

And "nicular" from Chris Bowen

You might've noticed a lot of younger people pronouncing "new" the American way, "noo", instead of "nyooz".

as "Texas" or worse, "Texan"?

"Tex" if you like, but sack all the rest of that bloke shyte off. You're not his mate.

I find it nauseous enough when turds like Damien Barrett refer to star players with their nicknames, like "Danger", "Gaz", etc like the little weasel at school who pretended he was mates with the most popular kid to skim off some of his popularity for himself. But this Texan business is too much. For the love of God, quit it.

I'm sure Luke Hodge just said that Brisbane are "number second" for scores in the last month.
