Onfield footy terms

[HeadandShin]

Do they chuck up regularly during games? Not easy to understand that definition at all if they don't.

I think running the lines is a Yankeeism and another one I don't like is calling defence deeeefence.

And calling attack "offence" (tho' that gets funny when certain teams are described as "offensive")

Frontal Pressure. I mean really. I thought frontal pressure happened when youve had about 8 cans with your mates and dont want to be the first to crack.

This term is the most frustrating to me, only started this year and is said in any discussion of Cyril Rioli.

I've been hearing a bit lately about something called a "process". No idea what it is though.

There seems to be a new vernacular creeping in to the game. Sayings like quarterback and catch instead of mark annoy me. I don't really understand what running the lines is, but it tends to be a fairly modern day saying. The one I really don't get though is "gut running". I've searched the forum and it seems the term only came into vogue since 2007 or so. I couldn't find any reference to it in the early days of PRE.

Can somebody please tell me what gut running is and how it differs from any other kind of running? :headscratch

yer quarter back is used for american football, i dont get why we now haveto use the term.

A lot of these terms and cliches are silly, but I think gut-running is a great descriptive term.

Jack's cousin is one of the best "gut runners" at the moment

Isn't that something to do with weather patterns?
