A list of sports words and phrases Mainers love to use
A few weeks ago I read the BDN story about the just released Dictionary of American Regional English. The University of Wisconsin researchers interviewed folks from 1,louboutin pas cher,000 communities,coach factory, collecting colorful and varied words used in Americans' everyday life,lulu.com, trying to show many of the words differ according to region.
Since all of this research was done between 1965 and 1970, I have to confess,roshe run, my first thought
And then Saturday morning, I read the follow up story with readers sending in their special Maine words and phrases. So I thought it was only appropriate to put my Maine "sports words" list together. I'll betcha you have heard, or used, one the following.
Huck and Chuck I watched a lot of high school basketball players "huck it" at the Bangor Auditorium during tourney week. In fact, for some players shooting behind the 3 point arc takes quite a huck! And as we get ready for the baseball/softball season, I know there are some players that can really "chuck it". Hey,bottega veneta, every coach would love to have someone "chuck" like Justin Verlander.
5 Apiece That was the score of the Red Sox the other day when I tuned in,mulberry outlet. Tied "5 apiece".
Fair to Middlin As a reporter,hermes pas cher, I have to ask coaches how they think their team will be this year. Most of the time coaches do not want to oversell or undersell their team. In other words, they think their team will be "fair to middlin".
Supposably Too bad for Jacoby Ellsbury. That shoulder injury is going to keep him on the DL for at least 6 8 weeks, "supposably".
Down Cellar I've never had one,cheap nike shoes, but I know some folks have a batting cage "down cellar".
Dubah Perhaps it was because we didn't have a batting cage "down cellar" that I would often be called a "dubah" in my youth. I can hear it know,air jordan retro, " what a dubah that duffah is"!
Slow As Molasses Runnin Uphill in January Sox first baseman Andrian Gonzalez can really hit. No doubt about it. But man, when he runs he's "slow as molasses".
Massive Ever seen those muscles on Albert Pujols,football jerseys? "wicked massive",juicy couture.
Pock a book How many times have you gone to a game, get in the concession line, and then realize you forgot your "pock a book". I hate when that happens.
So Don't I You think the Boston Bruins will repeat as Stanley Cup champs,michael kors handbags clearance? 'So don't I",ghd hair straighteners.
No suh You think the Boston Celtics will win the NBA championship? "No suh",hogan outlet.
Numma Than a Pounded Thumb This describes the New Orleans Saints coaching staff,marc jacobs outlet. If you thought you could get away with a bounty system while commissioner Roger Goodell is around you are "numma than a pounded thumb",sac longchamps.
Chummy Zdeno Chara. I always want this guy on my team,louboutin shoes, "chummy".
Finest Kind The majority of sports fans in Maine. "Finest Kind". Ayuh,babyliss!
you hear about the Ohio high school softball pitcher(Erin Gabriel). She struck out 34 batters in a 16 inning 2 1 win. Now that's "chuckin it",michael kors outlet!
I close my eyes and I see the Red Sox outfield of Carl Crawford Jacoby Ellsbury Ryan Kalish,ugg boots clearance, left to right. I open my eyes and see Darnell MacDonald Jason Repko Cody Ross. I am reminded at this Boston Marathon time that the baseball season is indeed a marathon,p90x3, not a sprint!
Saturday's Kenduskeag Stream Canoe Race will not be the same without Lew Gilman around. The idea Lew and Sonny Colburn had 46 years ago has changed springtime in Maine forever.
Yankees didn't want to wear throwback uniforms for Friday's 100th Fenway game. Gimme a break,mont blanc pens.
The Bruins first two playoff games with Washington is a reminder the road to Lord Stanley's Cup is long and winding,gucci shoes. Think back to just 12 months ago,canada goose.
Good for Biddeford's Brian Dumoulin. The BC defenseman wins two national titles in three years and turns pro after his junior year with a $270,000 signing bonus. Wouldn't you?
Turns out Celtics coach Doc Rivers knew exactly what he was doing when he publicly called out his team for poor effort a few games ago. Another classic case of the coach knows best of what makes his/her team click.
As we start a new high school baseball season,lululemon, I wonder this. When will we have another Mark Rogers? When will we ever see a Maine high school kid picked No. 5 by a major league team? That's the No. 5 kid in the entire nation.
