cfbillsfan Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I keep hearing this term being used in reference to football. It started last season, and has become a term I hear in just about every other football article, and it has popped up on this board a lot lately. It sounds truly fruity, and makes the people that use it seem like tools. It's been around a lot longer than last season. As a Bills fan I am sure you must have heard it in reference to Jim Kelly. I don't think it is fruity. I think it is something that is required in a QB. We have been looking for a QB with some swagger since the departure of Kelly (though I think Flutie had some swagger, just not a hold on the starting job). I think we are starting to see some swagger in Trent. Monday night he looked loose before the game. Gave me some confidence. I recall the Cleveland Monday night game last year, during pregame he looked like a scared little girl. I am all for swagger. And I am sure there are much fruitier terms.

streetcar Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I dont know about fruity but it is overly trendy. ESPN has worn it out talking about Miami U. I just wish they knew what a bunch of parots they sound like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No QB - No Bueno Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I prefer my team display a workmanlike confidence as they rip your throat out. 'Swagger' in the context of sport is meaningless. A bunch of goofballs talking smack or prancing about with exaggerated gestures is not a measure of confidence or competence. It's a myspace page or a Black Eyed Peas video. Unfortunately, it's easier to regurgitate the same vapid cliches instead of offering real analysis.

inkman Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Physicality. My God that word sucks. So many better ways to convey the point but the meat heads stick with one of the worst words ever created. I dont know about fruity but it is overly trendy. ESPN has worn it out talking about Miami U. I just wish they knew what a bunch of parots they sound like. When a bunch of crusty white dudes in suits start using it, the word is no longer cool. As far as my teams, I like them having it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StupidNation Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Why are you so afraid of gay people? Who's afraid of them? Are you really that stupid? Some people are willing to acknowledge what every sane person knew before and that they are crazy and no one wants to hang out with them because of it. I wish they would grow up and become men and start acting like them. What used to be a psychotic anomaly is now phrased in an argument of fear.

bizell Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 How do you feel about Chroise? Love it. It pokes fun at the mouth breathers that have no leg to stand on (nor brain to think with) and just parrot out the phrase, "BUT HE HAS POISE!"

Mickey Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Where do I mention homosexuality? In fact, I would hope that we start hearing about how "Butch" the defensive line is becoming. Maybe "butch" will become the hot new word in sports. Now you are just being coy, and its sooooooo cute. Here is what "fruitier" means, the word among all other you chose to best convey your meaning: 1. Of, containing, or relating to fruit. 2. Tasting or smelling richly of or as if of fruit. 3. Excessively sentimental or sweet. 4. Slang Crazy; eccentric. 5. Offensive Slang Homosexual. Since 1, 2 and 3 would make no sense in the context you were using it, that leaves either offensive slang for gay or "eccentric". Snice it would have been quite easy to come up with a word that more clearly meant crazy and only that, it is apparent that you didn't mean that either. "Crazy" also would be quite a stretch for describing use of the word "swaggering". I'd also be willing to bet that offensive slang for gay is the far more common usage of fruity than is eccentric. I find it hard to beleive that you meant "crazy" and rather than use a word that meant simply that, chose instead to use a word that is so often used as offensive slang. No one knows what is in your head or your heart where true intentions reside but based on what you actually said, you can't really complain at the rational conclusions drawn therefrom. Not knowing you, I would give you the benefit of the doubt as not really having meant to offend. Certainly, when it comes to that kind of thing, there are far, far, far worse comments around here. It is too often the first insult out of the box when posters go at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernMan Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yes. Glad you asked. "Dandy", as used by some Brits to descibe a man who dresses with a lot of fashion sense, flair, and panache. Cockney accent: "oh he's quite a dandy awright, he is". Very faggy in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfreak Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Is there really a position called Tight End? REALLY? TIGHT END? Yea he plays right next to the Wide Receiver! But the tight end gets pounded more often then the Wide Receiver does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I would hope that we start hearing about how "Butch" the defensive line is becoming. Maybe "butch" will become the hot new word in sports. The offensive line is playing like a bunch of bears through the first two games. The LB's are still a playing like twinks from time to time, however.
