The Deboer sitting down to pee thread reminded me of this.

“Take it for what’s its WORK” was a new one for me.

“For all intensive purposes” is common.
“Escape goat” and “Pre-Madonna” are others.

Let’s start a list. Should be entertaining in the offseason.

Edit: maybe it’s an OT topic. Mods feel free to move or delete and tell me to frick off.

These sound like Ricky-isms.

There was a Clemson fan here years ago that used the phrase "grade of slaw" as in I heard a rumor about XXX so take it with a grade of slaw.
