I just learned this past weekend what the word "taint" means. I read a Bill Simmons article awhile back in which he proposed that the NFL should keep track of how many times a quarterback throws an interception that gets returned for an touchdown. This stat, according to Simmons, should be called TAINTs (Touchdowns After Interceptions) in lieu of the current catch phrase being used by football commentators "Pick Six".
Meanwhile, I've been betting on a lot of football games (more on this to be discussed in Vegas) and I've yelled at the TV several times "I need a TAINT" or "Give me a TAINT" or "That was a huge TAINT". Finally, a friend of mine that I was watching a game with this past weekend informed me of the double meaning of the word TAINT.
Now, EWALL of Crap has a post that involves both a quarterback and a discussion of the word TAINT. I can't believe this is pure coincidence... my mind is blown right now.
ps
I (and most of my childhood friends) have always referred to the scrotum - asshole connector as the "Grundle".... so you can understand my confusion.
