An amount of money (usually a lot) that can be disposed of without any consequences or downsides (not nervous etc. to spend it).
Some sports teams spend stupid money to have certain players on their rosters.
When a minority group asks for equal rights by placing themselves above what was above them instead of leveling out the playing field; i.e. ‘taking turns’ becoming the majority group.
Minorites won’t be taken seriously by others if they resort to turn-based equality because doing so tells them that they’re better than who they are (when in reality, they aren’t).
A: a place considered to be very popular among tourists, including the local economy being largely dependent on them.
B: a place whose amenities are extremely underwhelming, or even non-existent. In essence, not enough things to do for the average tourist.
C: a place where it's easy to get scammed, or otherwise feels like an unreasonable requirement to spend money to enjoy local activities.
D: a place that's kitsch, childish, and appears outdated.
How come nobody can agree to what a tourist trap actually is?
A chance to be embarrassed at school.
Hey dude, did you just fart? (Laughter)
An unintentional failure to meet important expectations that were based around prior experience.
Named after the star pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Clayton Kershaw, who infamously played baseball worse in the postseason than he did in the regular season.
The state champion football team kershawed their way out of a national title, after expecting themselves to cruise their way to victory without a sense of seriousness. Kershawing serves as a reality check for "unstoppable" teams/individuals.
A sports team that is significantly better than most other teams in their respective league, but fall short of being the best.
In a direct matchup against the best team, they are the underdog.
In college football, LSU and Georgia are the overdogs of the Southeastern Conference. They are better than most other teams in the conference, yet are mostly overshadowed by Alabama.
A sports team who consistently chokes, regardless of how well they're playing.
The Mets and the Dodgers are prime examples of choke artists-- they may play as well as they could in the regular season, but ultimately blow their chances at a championship.
