I hate

1.Audibulize

2.Athleticism ( might be a word, used incorrectly )

It is just me? Does this annoy anyone else?

Bigplayability wth?

Nope, I have no problem with it. What is wrong with Audiblization?

Audibulization is also a *******ization of the language.

strategery

"Contain" (Instead of "Containment" )

"The defense is having trouble because they can't keep contain on the outside."

Unfortunately, languages evolve (except for french because France is very strict about it)

It's Big Play Ability, as in, "...that kid has Big-Play Ability."

not really a made up word but I was rather confused by the "illegal touching" on punts last week

My all time favorite made up word

"Is A&M's defense better than what it was last year?" This is how Troy Aikman talks. Is the word "what" grammatically correct in the above question?

"Untracked"

As in - "he can't get untracked and get going"

You would think "On track" is the right phrasing, but maybe I don't understand the word.

Trickeration

I love when someone says a good word (with or without knowing the meaning, and lots of others repeat it...)

Example:
Matriculate
Sportscaster - "He has the ability to just matriculate down the field."

Definition - to enroll in a college or university as a candidate for a degree



And then there's those who question the validity of a word when I know it is one:

Example:
Incontrovertible
Me at Tech game - "The ref has to have incontrovertible evidence to reverse the play that was called."
Juniors and Seniors around me - "Dude, that's not a word, I think you mean unquestionable or indisputable."

Definition - not open to question or dispute; indisputable

Running Norh and South or East and West.

They use these regardless of the directional layout of the field/ stadium.

phil simms has too many to mention.

Wow, good point. I've heard this word misused so many times that I thought it meant "to progress" or something similar. Then to look it up the only real definition has to do with college enrollment.

Or, there is always the - "We didn't play physical enough" vs. physically

bugs me every time.

double post

what would you rather have?

Kirk Herbstreit "The aggies have dual threats in the back field. J-Lane is a great downhill runner. He really runs best when he gets it going NNE to SSW. But Goodson is the aggies real outside threat and can do some damage running NW to SE."

damn, I was beat to listing "Trickeration," for some reason that word gets me more pissed than anything else, except for "nothing doing," that one makes me want to puke everytime becuase it reminds me of brent turdburger....

Wasn't this one of Keith Jackson's?

"Dennis Franchiown"

as mispronounced by the old dude who covered the army game (not gary thorne)

Actually Harvey, i believe oklahoma state is the only division 1A school that has an east-west layout of the field.

I've heard Fran use "Physicalness" a number of times, and it makes my ears hurt


physicality anyone?

Anything Lou Holtz says.
period.

Aww you beat me to it, thats the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the thread title. I can't think of a word, but the phrase that I though was the funniest was during the Rose Bowl two years ago.

"Veni, Vidi, Vici"

"Ah yes, how sweet the wine."

It's not technically incorrect but I hate hearing the word "resiliency". I prefer "resilience". It's a minor objection but it just bothers the hell out of me.

StrongBad... I know about hyphens... you show me one sportscaster that pauses between "play" and "ability" and I'll buy you a beer.

I was just trying to give some feedback on the thread.

OK, let me in on the joke.

Athleticism is a real word and has been used for decades. Did you just learn this word today?

And some people think the public school system is in great shape!

"Irregardless"- I hate it. Hear it all the time. Perhaps they can explain the difference between that word and "regardless". What's that? There IS no difference? Correct.

There's "irrespective" and there's "regardless". "Irregardless" is an uneducated *******ization b-a-s-t-a-r-d-i-z-a-t-i-o-nof the two.

Okay, that is all.

Oh, and "could care less", that's the other one. If you could care less, then that means you care somewhat. If you COULDN'T care less, than you don't give a crap, AT ALL. But you hear the former, incorrect usage about 90% of the time.
