Old Australian slang, derived from mid-late 1850s during the gold rush era.
The phrase was originally used by prospectors in reference, to their panning techniques and equipment maintenance. It is thought to be in reference to the practise of oiling ones pan before panning for gold, this was found to be a hindrance on yield.
Seldom heard in modern vernacular, the term now refers to describe any sort of practise which could be deemed inefficient or causing pronounced difficulty in a task.

A sex act unique to Thai massage parlors. Similar to the Happy ending, parlor goers pay premium prices to receive massage treatment, and upon the finish of the massage, the man lies on his back with penis erect as his Thai masseuse sits in a wicker basket attached to a rope&pulley. In the bottom of the basket is a strategically placed hole...
Another massuese may be called in or the man may operate the pulley himself, but regardless - His thai girl is raised up above his member and then lowered onto him...
To complete the act of the Thai Basket, once the Thai masseuse's vagina is securely placed on the paying man's cock - the man must spin the basket, revolving the girl around his penis at many revolutions per minute until he acheives orgasm or she vomits. Whichever comes first...

Get the basketball practice mug.is a form of "basketball" that is played by athletes only. This style is not truly "basketball", it is a form developed by those whose natural athletic ability has overshadowed players own progress of skill and understanding of the sport.
It is incredibly annoying to play with members of Texas Style, these players have never herd the terms over-dribbling, pass, jumper form, to much one-on-one, teammate, and foul (unless it benefits them at the end of the game). Texas Style players are often more concerned with "Got'ems" than actual points or winning. "Got'ems" appear to be so important that fans of Texas Style are seen running around the gym waving towels when a "Got'em" is performed. This "Got'em" is no specific move, in fact the moves can vary in degree and structure. For the most part, members of the caucasian race are percolated upon for the most chosen "Got'em".
Members of Texas Style basketball include D. Rose, J. Wall, LBJ, D. Wade, R. Westbrook, T. Thomas, and any player from the University of Texas. The term Texas Style Basketball was specifically invented for members of Rick Barnes Longhorn teams. Since the intro of Texas Style Basketball the expression has now carried over to the modern basketball player (no skill super athlete) found in the NBA, NCAA, and even local gyms around the country.
