Totally agree. It seems to crop up in fantasy football writing and I have no idea what it means. Whatever it means, people should just say that instead.

I first heard this in Paris is Burning, the documentary from I don't remember when? Have just always associated it with drag queens, which was fine. I don't like its seeping into mainstream vernacular, though.

Reminds me of an old Billy Joel lyric from the 1970's.

She can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me

Paris is Burning, definitely- late 80s? early 90s? and more recently on Ru Paul's Drag-race. maybe all the closeted metros are catching up on their drag love.

Anybody saying:
"Keep it real"
"Real talk"
"Keep it 100"
The phrase "low-key". As in: "I low-key want to grab some McDonalds on the way home". "She low-key has a thing for him".
####### stupid.

maybe already mentioned, but I wish anyone who uses "vape" would disappear forever in a puff of smoke.

What's wrong with "vape"? It's a pretty common, uncontroversial word in my world. What is the alternative? "Vaporize"?

Yeah, except for the part where you can conveniently get high anywhere on cannabis concentrates with 80+% THC content at the push of a button without exposing your lungs to carcinogenic smoke. But yeah, besides that vaping is horrible.

If you gamble on something, or you're invested in something...you've got some skin in the game. Dumb.

She uses it at least 6-10 times a day. "We need to make sure operations has some skin in the game on this project to get them involved."

I hate when people say "Anyways." I'm not sure if that's correct English, and even if it is, it sounds dumb. Why put an "s" on the end? Just say, "Anyway."

"Pitch-count" when referring to how much a football player will play.

Yup, great catch. Just saw/heard this for the first time, in reference to Frank Gore, the other day on Rotoworld. And one time was enough to make me incredibly unhappy. Unfortunately, I can see this becoming the new hipcool fantasy buzzword, particularly for RBBC situations.E-Z Glider said:"Pitch-count" when referring to how much a football player will play.
