"Flog" is a lazy term used by people who want to go along with the crowd and express their dislike for someone, even though they have no idea what it is about the person they supposedly dislike. It's a term I abhor.

Some more for you , Bloodspirit :
1)TOYME - a measurement of seconds/minutes . This term is used by Leigh Matthews.
2)Sevva-neen : a favourite of Brian "I have a pet sleeping on my head" Taylor.
It is not exactly a word , but a number , between sixteen and eighteen.
3)Across : a simple word , but if you ever utter it in relation to Australian Rules Football , it must - MUST - be followed by "half back".
One CANNOT play "across half-forward" or "across the back line". AFL rules prohibit this.
Infractions carry a minimum one-game ban , even with an early plea.
4)"Yeah-no-yeah-no" : This is the answer given to the first journalist question at all Paul Roos's press conferences.
5)"Nothing in that" : a phrase used by commentators (ex-footballers only : never , ever Bruce or Sandy) .
It means "He's just been run over by a freight train , but there's no need for a free-kick."
It sounds like serious commentary , but in reality , it's an attempt to send the subliminal message of "back in my day , we were a lot tougher".
One can only marvel at how such laconic phrasing can convey so much meaning.
I don't think there's an AFL-specific term for how Cameron Ling creeps around dressing-rooms at half-time , whispering , in a faux attempt to convey both tact and pathos. The best I can offer for that is "plain bloody annoying".
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
What's ESSADEN ?
Off topic now, but one of my favourite pieces of commentary was when an umpire measured a very long 15m penalty and the commentator (Dennis? Sandy?) said "gee, I wouldn't mind buying some land from him!"
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
