Many activities, such as sports and even cooking, have their own special vocabulary. These are terms that have a specific meaning that's much different than the "normal" meaning. Sometimes there are different spellings too. Can you think of a term that's specific to some activity that you know about? Share the term and definition. You can also give an example in case other bloggers haven't heard that term before.
Here are two that come to mind for me.
1.) birdie: a term used in golf when a player completes a hole with a 1-under-par score.
Example: Tiger Woods had a birdie on hole number 18.
2.) cream: a term used in baking when combining butter and sugar.
Example: You should cream together the 1 cup of butter and the 1/2 cup of brown sugar until it's fluffy.
