Friday OT #2 - That's Not A Thing

[ImJustKCClone]

He is most likely referring to HROT - Hawkeye Report Off Topic. Many years ago a poster referred to an opposing basketball player as a "Want of Bee" instead of "Wannabe" and was quite serious about it. This turned into a whole class of malaprops that lasted years. They formed a committee and had rulings on what classified as a WoB.

Basically they were just a bunch of Pre-Madonnas, but it was entertaining.

I caught yours...but I can't tell from your response if you caught mine?

Maybe so, but the site of sighting sources on this cite makes my teeth hurt!

Hate listening to broadcast Big 10 games. Announcers must say "oHIA State". No matter how close I listen, I hear "IOWA"

For the first time, the name actually now makes sense to me. Thanks!

most of the time when people say they are "weary" of something, they are actually "leery" of it.

Or they're "wary" of it.
