brick is also used as an insult in drag, i.e. βshe looks like a total brick. her makeup and outfit are obviously terrible.β
but they meant it as in brick like in basketball as to miss a shot, i.e βyou totally bricked that shot, you scrubβ
to further explain: it specifically hails from street ball courts, often wedged between urban apartment buildings, which were often brick buildings. "bricking" is shooting a shot so wild as to miss the backboard completely and hit the brick building behind the court.
I always thought it was because the shot was thrown like a brick, meaning with a poor arc to the basket. The ball can't make it through the hoop easily without a high arc on the shot.
Can people stop making up new words! My decrepit 30 something ass can't handle it anymore!
Both of these usages of "brick" are more than 30 years old...
I was going to say being 30 years old puts you about as squarely as you could be in the target demo for yelling "brick" at a bad basketball shot
Iβm way older than that and didnβt know either one. Is antisportsball male a gender?
Basketball was never strongly male coded in my youth in my country so you're welcome here
You will have to become this man, however
Hes got a dog and a home made El Camino. Sign me up.
Sinny rizz, cousin. If you donβt have the sauce to fly donβt buy your ticket on TripAdvisor, my gangster disciple.
And it will happen to you!
skibidi skibidi skibidi
Damn kids don't even know about ski-bi-dibby-dib yo-da-dub-dub, yo-da-dub
im going to start a motion banning all comments that contain those words
Thatβs what I thought too lol
Like, toxic masculinity resulting in gender affirmation
I just learned I am a brick darn
it's okay, as long as you keep showing up to the court and keep practicing your free throws, you'll see improvement.
