grounders

Grounders is a playground tag game also known to exist in Calgary, Alberta.

Minor injuries are quite common as a result of navigating the complex surfaces blind. These injuries may result in great humour to the other participants. Often, if one or more people have not yet been "it" or have tried to cheat, the others will gang up on them to put them in a position where they will more likely get caught.

Variations of Grounders include allowing the person who's "it" to have their eyes open while on the ground but closed on the playground area. While on the ground, they can then reach in to try to tag people.

haha! Bob just fell down and hurt himself playing grounders!

don't worry, Joe, there's no step in front of you!
*Joe trips over the step*
hahaha!

hit the ground running

Finding yourself in a situation that is fast-paced, and physically overwhelming. Often that feeling is heighted by a sense of mass confusion, and personal ineptness. Term was first coined to describe the "D-Day" invasion of World War 2. When Allied ships inflitrated Nazi shores, and infantry troops literally had to "hit the ground running", to keep from getting shot.

"I started my new job today. It was so busy, I had to hit the ground running, and had no time to get any training in."

ground and pound

A term used to describe a fighting style or technic. To take one's opponent to the ground, establish a dominant position. Usually a top position(i.e., mount, side mount, half mount, etc. can also be used while in one's "guard"). Then reign down punches, elbows and forearm strikes to the downed fighter. This is used in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) or any other NHB (no holds barred) fight.

Tito is one of the best at ground and pound.
