crane kick fever

the period of time after the release of The Karate Kid where every red-blooded American boy had a man-crush on Ralph Macchio and routinely practiced the crane kick

I remember walking through LAX in '85, the heart of Crane Kick Fever and seeing kids from all walks of life practicing their crane kicks.

wantrapreneur

Someone who talks a big game about being or becoming an entrepreneur but is pretty much full of shit and will never actually do anything.

Joe wouldn't shut up about the Crossfit Express Gym he planned to open in Incheon Airport even after read him the riot act on entry barriers and so on. Classic wantrapreneur.

bro rep

Often used in Crossfit, a 'bro rep' refers to the situation where a friendly scorer allows for a questionable repetition to count instead of giving a 'no rep'.

He definitely didn't go low enough on the last squat but I could tell he was tired so I gave him a 'bro rep'.

In the official competitions, 'bro reps' aren't in play.

Company Man

the opposite of an entrepreneur. Someone who prefers the 'punching a time clock' approach to work.

There's a great scene in True Detective where Rust Kohle calls out the detective for being a company man.

David Simon

the creator and primary show-runner of The Wire.

For my money, David Simon, David Chase and Vince Gilligan are the Michelangelo, Leonardo Davinci, Picasso of this generation.

no rep

'No rep' is the term used in Crossfit when a person fails to sufficiently complete a movement according to the rules.

My scorer kept 'no repping' me even though I'm pretty sure I was getting low enough on the overhead squats.

The new coach at our gym is the 'no rep' king.
