I grew up there as so I'm 100% guilty of most things.

However, on the Scotland game stream I managed to get US commentary.

The guy was saying "free throw" instead of throw in.

Shy. It's a shy.

Pissing into the wind with that one though.

American football commentary used to be absolutely hilarious for being overly technical and bombastic.

Changed days as they've stopped calling them goaltenders and have adopted mostly a European lexicon.

I've honestly never heard of a throw in getting called a shy.

Shy's very common. Must be a west coast thing.

 

Speaking of football terms. Did you call the below "gravel pitch" or the significantly more posh twat term "red blaze"

 

Lost a decent amount of thigh skin to a gravel pitch.

My PE teacher called it blaes, which I thought odd. We called it red ash or just ash.

Feeling blessed - when I see that on Facebook I want to scream. 

Well bless your heart*

 

*Not really what it sounds like…it’s the Southern lady’s way of saying f**k you…I’m sure it’ll make its way over there soon. Meanwhile, thoughts and prayers!
