Sports Slang: Is Your Vocabulary in Shape?

You're at a basketball game, and see an incredible move. "Gee, did you see that, uh, er?" you stammer. Or maybe you're biking with an experienced mountain biker. Your energy level starts to drop, and you slow down. "You're not bonking, are you?" asks your friend. You wonder if the other biker is referring to your slowing speed, your fanatic gum-chewing habit, or, perhaps, your religion? If the above descriptions fit you to a tee (and you have no idea what that expression means), it's time to get a clue at these sports slang sites. You'll soar and score with your basketball knowledge gained at the Basketball Glossary Web pages: http://www.firstbasesports.com/glossarie...
