pull a clemson

the act whereby an overrated football team builds up a big winning streak and artificially high national ranking by beating up on inferior competition, only to lose a bunch of games and get killed by truly good teams at the end of the season, thus exposing them for what they truly are.

"Clemson started off the 2011 season 8-0 and ranked as high as #6, only to 'pull a Clemson' and lose 4 of their last 5, get embarrassed by their rival South Carolina, and then give up the most points in bowl history to West Virginia in the Orange Bowl."

Nutshot

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.

Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.

Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.

Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
