When you see or hear of basketball players “talking trash” to each other on the court during play, generally, what are they saying?
“I say, your skills at the basket-ball are quite lacking; quite lacking indeed! I imagine I should box you about the ears, Marquis of Queensbury rules, for your impertinence in trying my patience at the game as your better; I shan’t, for fear of your weeping tears wetting my basket-ball finery. Now off with you! Downcourt, knave! Downcourt!”
