It's like CNN, Hollywood, D.C. just figured out what they mean and now everyone is using them. Evidence that our society is desperately seeking new ways to be offended. While we're at it, let's throw microaggression in there too. Any words you can't stand to hear anymore? Edited January 9, 2020 by Irv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Can we expand this to phrases? "Unanswered points" is #1 on my list. EVERY freaking announcer uses it now -- INCORRECTLY. Points are only "unanswered" if the other team NEVER SCORES AGAIN. Can you tell this pisses me off? So lazy. Just say "so-and-so have scored the last 14 points" or "so-and-so have scored 14 points in a row." It's not difficult. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In football or Basketballf If you are down 10-0 and score 28 straight, you most certainly scored 28 unanswered. Even if they finally score, you did go 28 before it was answered. So 28 unanswered 28 points In a row, 28 straight, run of 28 points, 28 unanswered are all interchangeable there Edited January 9, 2020 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the benchmarks? Technically speaking, I believe "Process" is a term meant to suggest that what is being attempted by the front office/coaching is complex, difficult, and by definition, requires time. Therefore, it is critical that those implementing the Process are allowed time to effect change. I.E., it's a job security campaign for the guys in charge; they are making top dollar and may not see this level of job again. Gotta keep that pay check coming in while you can.

The dolphins scored after 23 unanswered So the dolphins did score again so Cincinnati didn't score 23 straight according to your definition.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) PASSION. I see one more employment ad seeking a passionate candidate for a janitor, convenience store clerk, or oil change jockey, I think I will throttle the person who composed the ad. Ever hear of ‘enthusiastic’, ‘eager’, etc? REACH OUT. FFS, attempt to contact, email, call, but do anything besides reach out...especially if you’re a news organization. ‘Reach out’; who the f*** are you, AT&T?!
