Hand-off from hell

Believed to originate amongst the Welsh migrant population of Niagra Falls, Ontario, Canada. The hand-off from hell is a technique used in Rugby Union where you smash the palm of your hand into your opponents face sending them sprawling to the floor unable to stop your advance towards the try line.

In modern times it's usage is seen more often as a cheap shot in bar room brawls and was featured as a special move in 90s cult hit video game Jonah Lomu Rugby.

"Goodness me that hand-off from hell almost put him in ward 4!"

"Hope not Bill that's the maternity ward."
