combinate

Old school street slang back when cats used to play the numbers in NYC particularly Harlem. It ensured that if any permutation of the number that you selected hit, you would be a winner.

Combinate me, daddy:

8, 2, 1. You got me? 8, 1, 2; 1, 8, 2; 1, 2, 8; 2, 8, 1. I git 'em all?

Nate Clements-ed

The unfortunate circumstance of a defensive player who is carrying the football carelessly en-route to a touchdown after a turnover and an opposing player comes from behind and punches the ball out.

On 10/3/2010 49ers d-back Nate Clements intercepted a pass at mid field in a game against the Falcons with little time left on the clock and a lead. Had he run out of bounds, his team would have easily gone on to win their first game of the season. Nate Clements instead chose to return the interception and while waiting for blocks to set up, was chased down by Roddy White and Nate Clements-ed. The falcons would go on to win on a field goal.
