Deep South

South America, especially Colombia.

Though Trevor's in-laws in the old country all worked in the medical field, coffee industry, or rose business, he would still describe his Colombian wife to some of his new acquaintances as a girl from the Deep South (which was technically true) to avoid petty gossip.

brick

In basketball, a shot that completely misses both basket and backboard (the player might as well have thrown a heavy brick at the basket for all the good it did).

With two seconds left on the clock, he had a perfect opportunity to win the game for the team, but he shot a brick.

vectorhead

Any engineering student at a university, but especially those majoring in civil, mechanical or electrical engineering.

The Texas A&M University student body includes over 8,000 vectorheads, the largest number of any school in the country.

sky hook

A very rare soccer maneuver in which a goal is scored directly on a corner kick without any other player touching the ball.

Sukru Gulesin, a Turkish professional soccer player who also played for two Italian clubs, scored on 32 sky hooks in his career, more than any other player before or since.

supermag

A highly selective public boarding school for 11th-grade and 12th-grade high school students that focuses on mathematics and the sciences (and perhaps the arts).

Since its founding 18 years ago, the average ACT score of incoming students at the supermag rose from 24 to 30.
