Sportstop

A fictitious position on a sports team, invoked as a way to playfully mock others who are ignorant of whichever sport you happen to be discussing, with the target of this jest usually attempting to hide this fact. Name reminiscent of the "shortstop" position in baseball, which is a position that laymen to the sport have heard in general conversation, but likewise often times cannot visualize or describe.

Chuckford: "He was acting like a real know-it-all about the game, but a lot of what he was saying didn't seem to make sense."

Rastafarian Billy: "Did you ask him if he thought the guy playing sportstop was pushing it too wide?"

Chuckford: "Yes... and he agreed."
