Wednesday Wonderings: Updating the Lexicon

I had a down moment and was rifling through the Lexicon, realizing that we have probably added many new terms that need to be updated within the old Lexicon that was carried over from the GTP site.

I took the liberty of adding a few, so here’s a few samples:

Bobo (n.) – 1. a person lacking originality and critical thinking skills, particularly in the face of intense competition. 2. a person who cunningly adjusts to an opponent’s strategy yet is underscored of their efforts because of past and present failures. 3. Former quarterback and current Offensive Coordinator of the University of Georgia Football team.

Dammit, Bobo (n./adj.) – taken as a singular term, this refers to a poorly designed or poorly called offensive play in American football, particularly by University of Georgia Football Offensive Coordinator, Mike Bobo.

Geniuses (n.) – a collective of people posting only the wisest and most well thought out opinions on virtual discussion pages, particularly about sports.

Joey Freshwater (n.) – 1. The name given to a journeyman coach who served on the sidelines of several Southeastern Conference football teams. 2. One who seemingly fails upwards, despite personal and professional transgressions along the way.

Kurb Stomped (or Kirb Stomped) (v.) – when the opponent of a Kirby Smart coached Georgia Football team has been beaten thoroughly or in an embarrassing manner.

Rain (n.) – 1. A sudden release of cooled air particles from the sky that falls to earth as droplets of water, sometimes referred to as a “shower”. 2. The chief reason why the “#1 for a week” Tennessee Volunteers Football Team lost to Georgia in November of 2022.

Twix (n.) – A social media site, formerly known as Twitter, that was bought by a space cowboy who changed the name to “X”.

Ladd McConkey gallops to the end zone in the 63-3 Kirb Stomping of the Florida State Seminoles, December 2023.

Throw it out in the comments and I’ll fold it into the Lexicon, and give credit to whoever comes up with it like the Senator did, as well.

  1. I would amend Bobo #2

    “A person who is underscored of their efforts because of past and present failures, specifically in big games (ex the last 2 Sugar Bowls), but also sometimes in games when he’s heavily favored (ex Florida in 2014).”

  2. The lexicon inspired by the 2014 Florida game would be “Pruitt.”
    We scored enough to win had we been able to stop a Gator offense led by a freshman QB who could not pass.

    • Get outa here with that sort of talk – next you’ll tell us the reason we lost the South Carolina game in 2014 wasn’t because Bobo called a screen pass on the goal line when we’d scored 35 points, but because Pruitt got absolutely taken to the woodshed by Ye Ole Ball Sack in his first game as an SEC DC…..

        • Yes, Mike hitting the “fumble” button on his playstation controller causing our RBs to fumble twice right on the goalline really put us in a bad spot….

          • Don’t forget the int to lose the game, but don’t you dare blame the qb coach for qb play.

    • I guess you could argue 20 points was enough to win. Bad defense doesn’t absolve bad offense or vice versa, and both were really bad. All but 4 teams scored more than 20 points against that Florida team. However, if you’re making the case against hiring Pruitt as a retread I think I would tend to agree.

  3. I read this word today, and I had to look it up. I’ve made it my word of the day.

    Word of the day:
    Decompensation
    noun
    de·​com·​pen·​sa·​tion (ˌ)dē-ˌkäm-pən-ˈsā-shən

    Decompensation in psychology is the deterioration of mental functioning when coping mechanisms become overwhelmed by stress, illness, or trauma.

    It manifests differently depending on the underlying condition, psychosis, severe mood episodes, panic, or behavioral dysregulation are all possible expressions.

    Early warning signs often appear weeks before a clinical crisis, creating a genuine window for intervention.

  4. AHHHHH….GTPR has been hijacked! Call 911. Call the FBI! It’s the Iranians! It’s the Cubans! Lock your doors and hide the women and children. Dammit…I always said when the sh*t hit the fan I was diving into RangerRuss’ bunker. Now what do I do???
