The original term for a player winning all four of the major tennis Championships (the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open during the same calendar year.
Recently, this term has been bastardized by the media and others to include bogus combinations such as "non-calendar year Grand Slam", "career Grand Slam" etc - but none equals the difficulty or rarity of achieving the only true Grand Slam.
Hence, it has only been achieved in Singles tennis play by two men and three women: Don Budge and Rod Laver (twice), and Brinker, Court and Steffi Graf, respectively.
Other sports use the term to portray winning all of the major championships in one calendar year (ie golf). In Baseball it refers to hitting a bases-loaded home run and in Contract Bridge it refers to winning all tricks in one hand.

Get the Tennis Grand Slam mug.Four couples in a circle- man rides the woman with a nife at hand. When the men are about to cum, they each slice off a testicle and throw it to the mate of the man across from him and she then has to eat it. When done correctly, the slicing of the testicle should put the man in a perfect state of euphoria and appear like a circus act juggling. The woman also benefits because testicles have a lot of protein and make them fertile.

First appeared in 1962 as a full sized two door coupe, similar to the Bonneville. In 1969 it was moved to the mid-sized chassis shared with Chevy's Monte Carlo. Was given a re-style in 1973. Many would agree that 1962-1977 were the most stylish years for this personal luxury coupe. But it was down sized in 1978 to a boxy generic design which continued till 1988. Thats when the Grand Prix was redesigned as a Front Wheel Drive aero jelly bean on wheels. 4 Door models were offered, due to the declining popularity of personal luxury coupes. The Grand Prix lost it's uniqueness and was just another boring GM sedan. It was redesigned in 1997, and 2004, but still continued the same look until the Pontiac name was axed in 2009.
I don't know what GM were thinking in the 80's, but they turned the cool Pontiac Grand Prix into a boring crap box that looked the same as all their other cars.
