However, it is not just used in sports.http://www.englishforums.com/English/MyBad/zmplc/post.htmTue, 24 Feb 2009 05:51:53 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:481085Osee4http://www.englishforums.com/English/MyBad/zmplc/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-481085.xmlIn sports like basketball, people often say this.
