NEOLOGISM OF THE WEEK: BOMAR'D

PrintThe season's approaching, so it's time to build the language and lingo of the upcoming season one brick at a time. The neologism of the week will be:
BOMAR'D
Pronunciation: 'bo-MARD
Function: Adjective
Etymology: derived from the last name of an Oklahoma starting quarterback who gave his team the pipe in 2006 by taking cake jobs specifically prohibited under NCAA rules, Rhett Bomar. He was then kicked off the team before playing a single game of his sophomore season.
Definition: To inconvenience a team in grandiose fashion with behavior of a selfish and illicit nature off the field.
Example: "To the astonishment of teammates and others, quarterback Paint Strapley was kicked off the team for attempting to illegally import a ton of Mexican nandralone and 2.3 million dollars of gold bullion into the United States. Strapley's blimp was intercepted by U.S. Customs officials at the border at 3 a.m. yesterday. He has been suspended indefinitely by Coach Bobby Bowden, who responded to reporters' questions by saying "Herbert Hoover, y'all, applesauce, sleepy..." Teammates are left feeling bomar'd.
NOTE: Slight variant of "Rixtirpated" (participle of verb "rixtirpate"), which is to inconvenience team in grandiose fashion on the field.
Bomar'd.
Addendum: SMQ wants a do-over after Bomar's booting.

If only he had gone to tOSU, none of this would have been noticed.

Minor points…
I believe Bomar’d should be a verb. As in “He really bomar’d the team.” Also it might be helpful to use the word in the example, in addition to describing a situation reflective of being Bomar’d.

This is its participle use. But it could easily be a verb as well. Blame the sloppiness of the lexicographer, who as Johnson would put it is “a writer of dictionaries; a harmless drudge.”

The blimp is a nice touch. Don’t forget Jamie Blake’s advice:
“Don’t worry about him. It’s the Blimp next to him! The Blimp! When he puts on that mask, he’ll blow your goddamn doors off!”

My roommate dated Rix. She said he was a dick, which can only mean that she got the nasty end of a rixtripation.

Bowden, indefinitely? Please. Coach Bowden would’ve only sat Ted Bundy for the first offensive series.

Considering the incorrect places he put the football at times, we can only imagine what happened elsewhere.

Are you saying he may have went reverse 5 hole without permission?

Seriously, any Fulmer cup points for Bomar? Or would that just be adding insult to injury when you lose your starting QB the wk before preseason begins?
Also, are you going to mail the winning school…SJSU that is….an actual cup full of Cheetos? Cuz that’d be mad baller of you. Finally, does anyone know if Phil Fulmer (who is very fat) actually knows about this award and his name attached to it?

Rix hitting the reverse 5 hole? I don’t think he could be that accurate even by mistake!

Why do I hear Strong Bad’s voice saying BOMAR’D! in the middle of a Teen Girl Squad episode?

Sorry for the coffe this morning.
I have a friend who played first base at FSU who had classes with the Rixster. And from what I understand he was the guy that thought he was cool but drove the Mustang that was about 10 years to old and was always burning rubber.
I think he had a mullet but kept it hidden.

Jim – don’t know if The Great Pumpkin is aware of the Fulmer Cup, but my buddies and I have been trying mightily to get the guys over at the News-Sentinel to pick it up. Maybe after this week, they’ll listen.
