I humbly submit the following for your approval.
Last week my friends and I went to a Golden State Warriors game to enjoy a few beers and some unreasonably profanity-laden screaming. Beforehand we had to connect from various locations to exchange tickets and money. I coined the following term as an unambiguous reference of a location to meet. The area between the Oakland Coliseum and the Oakland Arena–circled in red in the following picture–is heretofore called the Oakland Sports Taint. AKA, “The Taint”.
If you know what the first definition of a taint is, you probably find this to be a perfect description. As will everyone else in the world if we can just get this word out there. If you don’t know what a taint is, then you’re probably the type of person that I would blush to tell it to. (That’s you, Mom.)
Now, instead of bungling simple instructions with a verbally complex and inelegant, “Meet me at the area between the stadium and the arena where those benches and trees are” you can glibly state, “Meet me at the taint.” Instantaneously and unambiguously, heads will nod in approval.
My mission is to promulgate this word to all sports fans across the bay so that I get develop some Colbert-like fame for extending the English language. How do I do that?
I learned a new word today. It’s not a word I will most likely use, but I do see how you made your decision for using it. You are very witty, my dear nephew, you made me laugh really hard today!
