What are your picks of what you reckon are the most humorous Swimming jargon terms, or the most humorous uses of any Swimming jargon terms made by anyone - be it by any swimmer/s, a coach, who ever was commentating a race you saw live or on TV, or someone who wrote about a race you saw ?
Not to be confused with any humorous swimming quotes made by any swimmers, coaches or commentators, which isn't what I'm asking.
This is a twist on the thread, but it is something that gets my knickers in a bunch. Politically correct swimming terms like "practice" instead of "workout", swimming "fast" instead of "hard". These and others were dropped on us thinking that we would be less stressed out by the terminology. Practice gives off the feling of yoga in draperies, all light and airy with no sweat or strain. You can practice your golf swing, but don't workout in the pool, that would be too much like, um, oh, work. And no one should have to work in our enlightened society, should they?
