an ingenius term popularized by men's ncaa basketball commentator bill raftery; used only at times when an indelible impression is left on the audience by a performer.
most notably, 'onions' was used to describe the incredible string of game-winning shots hit by syracuse guard gerry mcnamara.
'down to three seconds. . mcnamara with the runner at the buzzer. . . . . onions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
