A jock is either a
person who finds identity in sports or who finds their acceptance amongst those who do.
They are by no means inferior or, for that matter, superior however are often seen that way by minority groups. They
may appear inferior because they are interested/preoccupied with things that require low intelligence, however they
may still be intelligent and just content to not exercise it all day
long. They are also sometimes seen as superior because they are very self-confident and often physically strong/built (which sometimes makes them attractive to the opposite gender). This is a direct result of either wanting to improve their sporting ability or wanting to fit in with
people of high sporting ability.
Unlike athletes, for jocks sport is not an activity but a status symbol, when their
team/
player achieves success they see it as a personal achievement. Athletes may or
may not be jocks.
*Note: Often
people who are highly intelligent (and who like to exercise their intelligence) look down upon jocks for being so interested in unintellectual things, they have reason to feel superior but this is no excuse for being prejudiced (as applies to jocks towards them).
The jocks are watching soccer at my
house tonight so can i come play
guitar at yours?
Don't be such a jock, it's only a game.
The jocks are going to be grumpy today, our team lost badly last night.
