Who Knows What "Getting the Heisman" Means in the Dating Context?

Never heard of it.

Never heard the term, and had no clue till I looked it up. But then, I’ve never seen the Heisman trophy, either.

I’d have made some non-committal murmers and googled asap to figure out what you meant, which has to rank slightly better than the blank stare your buddy went with.

I thought it meant you were choking on a hunk of meat and she saved you life.

That’d be your life

Ne’er heard o’ it.

Nor I.

Never heard that one and didn’t get it (until reading the definition and seeing the trophy).

Not being a football fan, I only vaguely knew that the Heisman trophy is football related (and really don’t know why/where it’s awarded), so it’d be more of a “whoosh” for me.

Never heard of it. And I would have guessed that it would have been a good thing since every college football player dreams of winning it.

Ditto

I’ve heard it used a couple of times and know what it means (without looking it up). I’m 22.

By the way, sorry the cute blonde girl gave you the Heisman.

Hmmm. I would have guessed that it meant somebody who was a good kisser, but a lousy lay.

This is because many Heisman winners suck when they reach the pros.

But your definition makes more sense.

Never heard of it.

I’ve heard it, although it has been a few years.

Never heard of it, not sure if I would have guessed what it means. (I kinda know what the Heisman trophy looks like, but I really have to think about it.)

Never heard it before, but understood it right away.

I’ve heard it, and didn’t realize it wasn’t widely used until this thread. It really is the perfect metaphor for dating rejection.

Never heard of it before. From the thread title, I was thinking some sort of unusual sexual manoeuvre, not the depressingly-usual thing it turned out to be.

I knew exactly what you meant, and I’m known that phrase for a while… I believe I heard it from someone like Jamie Foxxx.

In your/our neck of the woods, you could even say that they “struck a Desmond”.
