Adjective used to describe late-eighties early-nineties vocalists who were "black-sounding," as opposed to the conventional rock and rollvocal precedent.
A wide receiver for the New York Giants, though I don't know how long he'll be keeping this position. He caught the winning touchdown in Super Bowl XLII against the undefeated* New England Patriots, but then the next season he shot himself in the leg and was charged with illegal possession of a firearm since apparently the gun was not licensed. His injury was not severe, but he's still in big trouble. Also, it's been discovered that he has no auto insurance.
It's too bad Plaxico Burress shot himself in the foot (pun intended). He could have had a great career.
to accidentally and unnecessarily harm yourself through pure stupidity. For example, bringing a loaded, unregistered, illegal handgun to a public place and shooting yourself with it. From Plaxico Burress, NY Giants wide receiver.
as a noun:
"I pulled a real plaxico by trading DeAngelo Williams. Now I have no RB's!"
as a verb:
"Why did I plaxico myself by planning on starting twoClevelandClowns in the fantasy playoffs?!?"
When you are immature, selfish, and don't give a crap about your work, your co-workers, your company, or your reputation.
Normally when you skip work and don't call in to let them know where you are, are late for work meetings, yell at your boss on national TV, get fined every week for insubordination, and shoot yourself with an unlicensed firearm in a NY nightclub which damages your very career, you might say you are feeling Plaxidaisical about your job.
