NEW VERBIAGE ALERT!

by Orson on Oct 19, 2005 2:52 PM EDT

The fertile, still-untilled soil of online college football commentary has already made a few grand contributions to the English language this year. Examples:

1. QEDMF. Quod erat demonstrandum, motherfucker. Used to conclude an argument that is beyond rational refutation.

2. Hennebriated.

3. Prothrolled.

4. Talifan.

5. Flaggotry. The inane practice of claiming a rival's field with your flag, a practice now being taken verrrry seriously by both the Big Ten and SEC.

We'd like to go ahead and attempt to introduce the latest phrase you'll hear peppered about the airwaves over the following months/years/decades:

5. BOOM, HEADSHOT! Coined by FPS Doug of Pure Pwnage in reference to his many Counter Strike 2 assault rifle kills, often by shots to the head. Click here to view Doug in action before the world discovers him, adores him, and ruins him with the sweet, fattening adoration of millions. Phrase is applicable to hits like the one Matt Ryan of Boston College took earlier this year, or more archetypically, to our favorite hit ever, seen below. Slang.

BOOM, HEADSHOT! Unfortunately, Chris Leak is paying off Wright's karmic debt for that hit this year.

Check out my coments on TT for the “Boom Headshot” video clip of the week. Simply sickening shot by Dwayne Slay.

The turning point for the greatest Gator victory in my lifetime. Nevermind that Tennessee scored first after that hit, from that moment on, there was no way the Gators could be stopped. Even the weather took part. As the fade routs were pouring into the endzone, so the gods sent a sweet autumn rain to drench the faithful: in points, in water, in joy!

Well said, Jim K.

Nathan, that’s the best pure hit this year. Boom, headshot.

Here’s one:
Hevesy (v.i.) – Fail to engage in even minimal preparation for an upcoming challenge. (“I’m so fucked on this test, dude. I totally hevesied last night.”)

If this story is correct, I pity Gator fans:

From the Tampa Tribune: UF OL coach Joh Hevesy admitted he never saw film of LSU against an empty backfield. As a result the Gators had “no idea” that LSU would blitz an empty backfield everytime.

“I wish someone would have shown us something.” Hevesy said. “We went into that game without looking at one shot of how they defend empty.”

Read that earlier, SMT, but couldn’t post it due to inability to process the statement mentally. Just…so…unreal…

Where did you find this?

We know people who know people…and all of them are gaming dorks.

You left out the best neologism of the year, which is surprising given that you coined it – flaggotry.

Ooh, yeah…

Ah, Joey Kent, what a hit! Looks like maybe CJ Leak did bring a little bit of Vol ball to the Gator nation, “We wish someone would have shown us something” is a common quote for our O line as well.

Flaggotry isn’t your neologism, per se; I think radio talk show host Neal Boortz originated the term a few years back as a derisive term toward Confdederate Battle Flag exhibitors.

But a fun reuse nonetheless.

We feel so..dirty, Chris. Why does it have to feel so good?

Dude, I play a similar game, Call of Duty, and I can completely sympathize with this guy. I want to destroy my PC when it lags.

BOOM! MOTHERBOARD SHOT!!!

“You run faster with a knife.”

That is so f-ing hilarious to a gaming geek like myself.

It brought back nasty flashbacks from the six months we lost to Team Fortress. For a while there at the end of our addiction we were scoping every possible nook and cranny of our surroundings for good spots to snipe from.
