Sports and sexual terms

[iwatchus]

Someone made a joke to me that if Mark Sanchez goes to prison he may find a whole new meaning for butt fumble.

I have the sense that a lot of the terms in sports have sexual origins, but I can only think of two off the cuff.

Nutmegging in soccer
Randy Johnson's nickname "Bg Unit"

What others can people think of?

Do you take her...
Do you take her...
Do you take her
Up the Arsenal

(Sung whenever Victoria Beckham or indeed any other notable WAG was in the stands)

Honestly, if you can think of at least twelve good* double entendres for any given sport in under a minute, well, you are probably not British.

(By good I mean terrible)

Go Gooners!

"Facial" in volleyball (when getting hit in the face with the ball). Our coach strictly forbade us from using the term. I can't imagine why.

Mark Sanchez will likely be called "Dirty" Sanchez in due time.

Football players often get sacked in the endzone.

Which is totally not gay. Not at all.

After a good up-the-middle run play in football the commentators will say, without fail, that the runner managed to "hit the hole, and get penetration." They say it so frequently they should probably be fined by the censors for enjoying the expressions so much.

But also, thank you for the reminder of the butt fumble. It's an excellent clip to watch... and watch again... whenever I need a good laugh. He was attempting to hit the hole, just maybe hit the wrong one.

Breaststroke is my favorite followed by ball handler and tight end

 

[AllenWoody]

Get to fourth base, go deep, score, drive the hoop, penetrate. This is actually a bit harder than I thought.

 

[crookedletter]

They also often call it "laying the wood" when you hit someone really hard in football.

I remember watching an NFL game many years back. John Madden was doing commentary and he described how the offensive linemen try to create gaps for the running back to run through, called the A gap, the B gap, and the C gap depending on where it is in the offensive line.

Very next play, Ricky Williams broke free for a touchdown and John Madden yelled, "He went right up the A-hole!"

 

[Bramblethorn]

"Hopoate".

Tight end, wide receiver.
Wet jumpshot.
Good D!
Nice stroke!
Penetrate the hole.
Take it to the rack.
Back 'em down in the post.
Going deep!

I suspect that some of the examples in this thread have the causality backwards. Sports terms coopted, or corrupted into sexual slang.
Still good fun.

Apparently at some point between when I stopped watching football like 10 years ago and a month ago when I decided I didn't have anything better to do on Sundays now, the term "tush push" just became common parlance for all football commentators.

Pretty sure the tush push generally goes in the A gap, so the time is ripe for somebody to exclaim, "They did a tush push right in the A-hole!" on national television.

Probably Al Michaels could get away with it, but he was born without a sense of humor. Alas.

In prison with no conjugal visits, Mark Sanchez might be the first NFL QB to get a "roughing the passer" penalty called on himself.
