The BigFooty Tropes Thread.

[RedmanWasHere]

What are some common tropes (or things generally associated with this website) that we can do without?


I'm prone to doing this but blaming North Melbourne for any BigFooty software crashes and/or updates.
Proclaiming players as stars and duds after just one game.

This thread is a few months in the making.

Your turn.

The word "salty" gets way overused on the main board.

I'd argue it's seeped into general use.

But, yep, it's not ideal.

The phrase 'shat the bed' we can do without.

lol as if a <club> fan can talk about <area of game being discussed>!!!

This is an annoying thing I've also seen.

It adds nothing of substance to discussion.

For a couple seasons though, North was the most common reason for crashes!

I know but, after that point, it started to grow stale.

It was like, hmmm, bigfooty isn't loading today, I better check the footy.

Ah yes, I see Norf has coughed up a five goal lead again. That explains it.

But
Its colourful and creates a vivid mind picture and its so apt in certain situations

Whenever anyone brings up the topic of education or teachers always ends up in a s**t show re. "teachers get too many holidays".

Champ? I hope you've been pulling cables, mof, or you're in for a Kananook bath

Thanks, Ben.

Probably just me, but 'downhill skier' was one I never heard before I came to BigFooty

 

[Plugger35]

Nice join date.

That normally gets pulled out to accuse someone of being a bandwagoner and joining Bigfooty when their team has won a premiership.

I've never been accused of that being a St Kilda supporter.

"sleeps with the light on" seems to be the go to term this trade period.
