Aint No Way No Man Do That To Me
The Star Tribune is always trying to stay on the edge of trendiness with its use of language. Just last week the term "Trannie" was invoked in a piece as if readers knew what that meant.
Today's laugher is an account of the altercation between Anthony Peeler and Kevin Garnett in last night's Wolfes/Kings game:
A Western Conference semifinal series that was already getting rather testy got ratcheted up about 15 notches the moment Peeler's left elbow went upside Garnett's head late in the third quarter.
"Upside Garnett's head," as in to go upside one's head. As in "I'm going upside ya head with a bat you don't shutup, fool."
Curious how many of our readers speak in this way on a regular basis. Perhaps the writer is from the South and this is a regional distinction I am not aware of. Whatever. I just found the sentence amusing and continue to marvel at what the Star Tribune does every day.
