Mosconi Updates Please

Lets hope Johnny has a "feeling" today and the Americans can free wheel being down what they are.

Being Canadian from a European descent(SP) I just want to see a close and exciting match, but I did bet a little on USA.

While originally a British phrase, its become a fairly common reference around the sports world these days...

True dat, but I had never heard of it before. The resource I found said it originated from "wives and girlfriends from British soccer players"; therefore, the British reference. :)

Just checked, NYDailyNews.com, sports section, down near the bottom, "WAGS for all seasons"

Yes, they are a tabloid, and probably owned by a British tabloid if memory serves (The Sun, maybe?)

Still...its been "over here" for a while. :p

There's a pretty extensive Wikipedia article on the term, which I found quite interesting ---> HERE

Posting on AzBilliards can be such an educational experience sometimes. :D

It's also a common reference in I.T. as well -- but with a different meaning. WAG = [w]ild [a]ss [g]uess. E.g.: "Bruce didn't know the answer to that BGP routing question on the Cisco CCNP exam, so he WAG'ed it."

To be brutally honest, the subject matter often jumps off the page at me :) thus, my recognition of the term. I don't get out away from here much, either, but the world wide web takes me all over the place :p

Ah yes, we in the non-IT world have a version of that, adding the word "scientific" in front of it.

In the construction business that reference is also used when asking for a price but with a "s" attached. SWAG, stupid wild ass guess.

I was being lazy, not witty. Laziness is another Britishism.

ps you're technically a wag. That must be worth a new pair of Jimmy Choo's from the old man - you don't want to show him up, after all.

I'm definitely not a Jimmy Choo-type of gal. I'm more into Orthaheels and Berks. :grin-square:

My style is more Bohemian, laid back and comfortable. :p
