New catch phrase needed (1 Viewer)

It has way worn out its welcome. We need something new to identify our completely buying in to overhype.

My first thought is 'taking the beads.'

As in, "When Hearst was traded, I completely took the beads with Barlow as the next top 10 RB."

Submit your entry here. In two years, when ESPN finally catches on you may hear your catchphrase on the TV or Radio.

 
Sipping the {insert player's name here} Gatorade?
It will more than likely have to have some meaning outside of the literal interpretation...like the kool-aid did, but better.

Gatorade is much better than kool-aid, and it's sports related.What do I win?

 
I don't know. Somehow, "taking beads" just doesn't have the same connotation or impact as blindly following some nutjob and committing mass-suicide just because he said so.

Maybe "Voting Republican" or something like that. :stirspot:

For now I'm still drinking the "drinking the Kool-aid" Kool-aid :ohyeah:

 
...since the phrase means "going along with something, even though it might not be the best idea", how about:

"Collecting the Beanie Babies" or...

"Strapping on the Fanny Pack" or...

"Doing the Macarena" or...

"Cramming into some Low-Rise Jeans"

 
Nobody* drinks Kool-Aid anymore...do they?

* "Nobody" is intended to mean "nobody older than 10 years old".

 
Yeah, something like "wearing the black Nikes" might have caught on a few years ago when all those spaceship worshippers killed themselves in San Diego a few years ago. To work, it has to mean blindly following an unproven suggestion, even at the risk of great personal harm or death.

I think the potentiality for self-inflicted death figures highly in the Kool-Aid reference. Fanny packs don't kill people...

If you're sporting a fanny pack, you've pretty much given up on life, don't you think? (Unless, of course, your fanny pack actually is a life-saving device...)

:unsure: Maybe that's where I keep my inhaler...?

...I ammend my comment to exclude those situations where the fanny pack could be a life-saving device. Point well taken.

How about this:

"I know everyone thinks Vince Young will be a great pro, but I'm not wearing the ###-less chaps just yet."

I vote 'Cramming into some Low-Rise Jeans.' I would never use it, but I would like to see that catch on with the networks and video media."This is Chris Carter. I know a lot of people think Reggie Bush may be overhyped, but I'm cramming into his low-rise jeans. He's #####in'.
