“Ball-Sac Polisher” (or “BSP”) is both a noun and verb: it refers to a man who
worships a scratch golfer or blue-blood regardless of his character; as well as his actions. The BSP will seek the opinion of the most clueless scratch player or blue-blood over that of an imminent authority on any subject at all including engineering, science, medicine and
astrophysics; he will buy unlimited drink and food for a scratch player or blue-blood in return for no more than an acknowledgement of existence, smile, nod or look of approval, without any expectation or
possibility of reciprocation. A BSP is akin to a lapdog, sidekick, chump or loser.
BSP is a term of art coined in the 1990’s by a doctor in Troy, NY, who noticed that many newly admitted public employment and other
working class members to the city’s country club (admitted when the economy caused the once exclusive country club to essentially be a quasi-public course) would do anything just to obtain the slightest acknowledgment or glance of approval from a scratch player or long-standing blue-blood member. Scratch players and blue-bloods at The CC of Troy have accepted the adoration and offerings of the BSP so eagerly that their symbiotic
relationship has established the prevalent culture at that club, and a precedent for many others, which exists to this day.
"Johnny is such a ball-sac polisher."
"Here comes Phil,
followed by his entourage of obsequious BSPs."
"John wouldn't be such a bad guy if he wasn't always ball-sac
polishing that
untalented hack.
