What is it with pretentious commentators and sports people, who try to create a weird and 'impressive' aura around activities.
For example, people who climb things like mountains are generally trying to get to the summit. The summit is the bit at the very top, and the word is a NOUN. So, the cunts climb up towards the summit and some of them get there. In doing this, they have not "summitted' - the word does not exist, and creating a verb is out of order! Summit should be done about it!
This week, in Delhi, the commentator said of a cyclist that in his last race he had "punctured". He meant, of course, that the cyclist had been cycling when one of his tyres got a puncture. The word "puncture" can be a noun and also a verb. However, the transitive verb requires an object (eg. I punctured the ball) and so does not relate to the commentator's use of "punctured". The intransitive verb form (used by the commentator) is equally inappropriate, because it means "to undergo a puncture". So, the commentator was a useless cunt. I should have looked at the TV screen and seen a man on a bike suddenly lose all puffiness/pressure/air and start to deflate! If only . . . . because it would have been a lot more exciting and entertaining.
What next? Will we hear that a rugby player "tried"? I'd fucking hope so; who'd want a lazy, apathetic cunt on the pitch? What about if in show jumping, the horse and rider got over the obstacle; would the commentator (or rider) say he "fenced"? That would be very confusing.
Dumbing Down is rife.
