brick

1. Any small (usually handheld) electronic device that has become outdated, and thus is much larger and heavier than modern versions. A large (bigger than handheld) such device is called a boat anchor.

2. An amplifier used for radio transmitting, especially in ham radio and particularly when intended for automobile installation (so named because such amplifiers are small, heavy, and usually shaped like a brick; just a plain metal box with a few wires sticking out).

1. I've had this cellphone for 5 years; it's a total brick.

2. Can't hear me over the static? Let me kick in the brick.

brick

A horribly missed shot with a reasonably sized ball. However, the word itself can be used as a psych out to cause a 'brick'.

Ex1) *Carl shoots water polo ball and missed by 3 feet*
Greg: Nice brick! What are you building, the Great Wall of China?

Ex2) Crowd: Brick! Brick! Brick!
Balla: Gaahhhh! *Air ball*
