I was in a meeting the other day and someone used PB&J instead of "Peanut Butter and Jelly.""dashboard"I heard this one used in a meting last night instead of "variety".

Yes. Even more ridiculous when used to describe players that are good and therefore more unique than others. You've got your Pujolses, your Adrian Gonzalezes . . . .

At the end of the day it's not paramount like your pastrami, club and meatball sandwiches of the world. Those sandwiches have just assembled better pieces.Peanut Butter, Bread and Jelly is a great dashboard.

Can't say I've heard the latter. Roffle-mayo?
Insein
Footballguy
Yes. And I have. Sounds so dumb.
Aerial Assault
Footballguy
Yes. One might add that the usage of the term to indicate a day when people are out shopping and doing presumably fun and positive things for themselves and the economy is bizarre and historically ignorant. The term refers to the 1869 stock market crash, and even in the retail day-after-TG context, was "coined" by the Philly police in the 60s because of all of the mayhem they had to deal with that day. Was Green Friday (which makes a hell of a lot more sense) taken?

What is with the en vogue NFL terms each year? I really wish my memory was better because there have been several but only a few come to mind right now...
For a while it was "smashmouth football"
then "they hit people in the mouth"
last year and this year it is "concussed"
last couple of weeks it seems to be "they need to be all-in"

Foils refers to the old celophane projector slides. You had a cart that you wheeled around with a machine on it that had a big light undeneath and an arm above it with a mirror. You put a celophane slide or "foil" over the light, and the light refracted off the mirror onto a projector screen.
