To indicate a stark change from an ordinary kick-a-about to swaggering showboating, resulting from the unexpected presence of female spectators during a game of football.
Involves teenage boys between the ages of 12-18 going from a jovial game of heads and volleys to Cruyff turns, Beckham-esque curling free kicks, aggressive diving headers, Roy Keane/Alf-Inge Haaland slide tackling, completely unnecessary keepie-uppie and never passing the ball - in a vain attempt to attract the female spectator.
Originated in Lincolnshire circa 2000.
Ben - "We were having a decent game and then the Year Ten girls arrived..."
Beeda - "...so Macca turned to sex skills?"

A new cultural emphasis designed to replace the ability to do one's job well. Since industrial talent distrubutes unevenly across certain gender and racial bounderies, the disparity creates an opportunity for unscrupulous politicians to manipuate the situation emotionally (demagoguery) and take power. The approach relies on research such as Dunbar's "Social Brain Hypothesis," in which the scientist shows that the human brain evolved to be larger in order to have greater "Machiavellian Intelligence," or to be able to better manipulate social situations.
It's all about conniving and fucking people to get to the top. The foil of someone with bad "social skills" is the clumsy engineer. However, people tend to forget that the engineer works exceptionally hard, is brilliant at constructing civilizations, and does not become a military dictator easily. Politicians with great "social skills" are the usual suspects.
People who promote social skills, things like "EQ," nearly always come at it from a humanitarian angle. They will try to claim that people without social skills are insensitive, mean, or have no "common sense." While this might have some merit, it neglects a critical piece of information. Empathy is not a one-way highway. It allows a mother to take care of a child. It also allows a slick used car salesman to take advantage of an elderly person.
It also allows Joseph Stalin to murder 100 million Russian peasants.

Nerd: "Wow! I just studied really hard and got a 98 on my math test"
Politician: "I went out and had fun. Then I found the answers online. Me and all my friends got 100's. You have bad social skills."
Nerd: " :( . That's not fair. "

There are players who frequently use one or more skills, but there are several skills in Minecraft, as well as what you commonly use determines your signature
A Skill Signature is often a player's strength or it can be also use as their weakness, each signature has a counter; but not game sense, and as I previously stated, combining skills and what you commonly use determines your skill signature
Game sense is the most important skill in Minecraft, and it is often referred to as the Universal skill because the only skill that can counter it is itself, suppose it depends on how they use it
