"that wasn't on my bingo card".....I heard this 3 times during my brief watching of the Olympics yesterday....

Well-played, sir. Mrs. R. has plenty to tell us about etiquette and general decency, both of which are insufficient but necessary for a decent order and decent society.
Hock Tuah is fine, but one really has to wonder about the social veneration of the whole thing. Are we now flinging poo at each other so often that we’ve forgotten the conjugal and what it entails?
(I’m kidding with that last bit.)
Mrs. Rannous
Footballguy
That wasn't poo.

I'm pretty sure you're SOL on this one. It's here to stay.

"Taking it to the next level" Every product seems to be able to take something to the next level.
Hate it. Sick of it.
May have posted it here before, but I forget if I did, and not gonna look through the pages and see, so there it is again.

Never used it, never heard it used.
But then again, I am an old dude
Mrs. Rannous
Footballguy
It's used a lot in our music drafts. Don't care for it. It seems kind of lazy to me.
DA RAIDERS
Footballguy
It’s at least 8 years old. I believe it originated in England I’m fine with it.

Shows ya how hip THIS dude is.
And I lean towards the "cool term" side of the fence FWIW.

if we are getting rid of any term for a good song then we are getting rid of "it/that slaps"
Gr00vus
Footballguy
Also sucks.
TripItUp
Footballguy
Guilty as charged...originally I used it to describe songs and now I've expanded the term to several other uses. Such as, "that new Rivian Bronco is a banger".

My son is 20, he's in college now but I'm reasonably certain he's used this high school. I have to be honest here, I quite like the term because there's a hell of a lot of "mid" in this world. . . plus I use it myself from time to time.
Mrs. Rannous
Footballguy
Someone did that? I would have to kick that person in the nuts at once.
nirad3
Footballguy
Oh for sure. I've heard it from multiple sources. It's terrible.

Yeah, I thought of that when I first heard it... but... ugh.

When did you guys first hear this? It's been a thing forever.

Ribbie I've heard for a long, long time. Tuddy? This season.
And trust me I'm hugely involved in football / fantasy football... just never heard it until this season.

been hearing it called "tuddy' on and off since elementary school, feels like. and that was 35+ years ago.Ribbie I've heard for a long, long time. Tuddy? This season.

Footballguy
Huh, weird. I've had double digit fantasy teams for close to a decade, written/write for multiple fantasy sites and have been on here since 2012 and Huddle for at least 15 years before then and really just starting to hear it this season. I HAVE been listening to more SiriusXM fantasy sports radio these days; I wonder if they just say it there more and I'm just noticing now... hahahabeen hearing it called "tuddy' on and off since elementary school, feels like. and that was 35+ years ago.Ribbie I've heard for a long, long time. Tuddy? This season.

I'm referring to ribbie. Tuddy is dumb.

Footballguy
I have never heard either and have no clue why rbi and touchdown aren't good enough

First time I've heard Tuddy. Ribbie I've heard since I was a kid.Ribbie I've heard for a long, long time. Tuddy? This season.
Nothing wrong with this. It has been around forever and is just fine.
Dennis Castro

Don Sutton would sometimes refer to RBI as “‘steaks.” Teenage me thought that sounded kind of cool.
wlwiles
Footballguy
I'm fine with Ribbie, like you said it's been around since I was a kid. But just because tuddy is new, it's a hated term? I don't see much difference between the two.
And tuddy is better than it being called a tiddie...
Tuddy just seems dumb. Has nothing to do with it being new necessarily. It just seems wrong to me. But then I rarely ever use the term as just "TD" either so that may be why.

So I learned 3 things today. There's a site that claims that sources say that the term tuddy has been around since the 1900's and the Washington Commanders mascot is named Major Tuddy.
Websters says the first use of ribbie was in 1956. My only thought is that "ribbie" might have been easier to say than "run batted in"

It's not just the random shortening of words that drives me batty... it's when people combine words that, when they do so, make it a different part of speech.
Namely: work out / workout and hang out / hang out
Hangout and workout = nouns
Hang out and work out = phrasal verbs
I see all sorts of Facebook posts, memes, etc.... with "anyone wanna hangout this weekend?" Cringe.

Dude, you are my people. This drives me bananas.

these are the same people that use "then" instead of "than"
