Why look it up? ask and you'll get a definition - possibly several - with added snark.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But still, why is that one guy in American Football called quarterback? It's still odd to me.
Although not as odd as when my friend was the hooker on the rugby team!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That goes with the hockey stuff I was not able to actually type.
∀ ita ∃ pain. ∴ ita ≠ happy.

I always wanted there to be a player called a Doubleback.

Heh. And I was worried about the lack of a Three-Quarter Back.

I figured that was what it was, but it didn't gel with where they actually are on the field.
Thanks y'all!

Or a Quarterback with cheese.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
How do you guys get dressed for work? (minus two points to anyone who says "one leg at a time.") Do you pick your clothes out the night before? Do you wait and see what you feel like when you wake up?
I generally figure out what I'm wearing the morning of, while I'm in the shower. Unless it's a specific dressy event day, or I know I'm riding in.
I am trying to figure out the naming conventions of quarterback, halfback (tailback), fullback
Damn! Late! From rugby, yes!
But still, why is that one guy in American Football called quarterback? It's still odd to me.
Again from rugby. You have the scrum (forwards), yeah? And then there's one guy who's not in the scrum, but he's circling around it, watching where the ball is, almost dictating the action - he's the one who grabs the ball when it comes out of the scrum and starts it towards the backs. He's currently called the scrum half, but when the names of the back positions were dictated by their distance from the scrum, he was in-between the scrum and the fly-half - therefore a quarter back.
eta: also, I love the French term for scrum-half: demi de mêlée.

That's my way as well. And then I have to root through my laundry basket of clean clothes usually. That's one of my talents--NOT putting laundry away.
