got goalkeeper doesn't mean cannot score goal

Originally coined by unknown person of incredible literary talent, made popular by Anthony, this phrase is an analogy often used to encourage people pursuing someone of the opposite gender which is already attached.

This analogy is based on the empirical evidence of soccer matches with positive goals scored (n > 0), despite the presence of a goalkeeper intending precisely to stop that. Similarly, just because a girl (guy) has a boyfriend (girlfriend), doesn't mean that she (he) is automatically unavailable.

A skilled striker may still be able to score a goal despite the presence of a goalkeeper. Of course, the presence of a goalkeeper does increase the difficulty associated with goal-scoring.

This has led to phrases such as "I can't even score an open goal!" or "wow Kenji can score goal even with so many defenders!"

Note: the definition listed above in no way represents the attitude of the author towards the subject
A: "wow that girl is amazing! too bad she's already with that stud Anthony"

B: "what kind of defeatist attitude is that! don't you know, got goalkeeper doesn't mean cannot score goal!"

A: "alright i'm going for it! watch out Anthony!"

Glass Cannon

Refers to someone or something that deals high amounts of damage but had a very weak defense or health. Often a term for games.

The best way to fully embrace being a glass cannon is to be very careful when you attack. Wait for an opening in which you are guaranteed a safe or almost safe hit to be as useful as possible.
John is a glass cannon, he got into a fight and with one hit gave someone a bloody nose, but he started crying the second he was hit once.

Ganon Cannon

A cannon used in the Subspace Emissary, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Controlled by Ganon and Bowser. This was used because they were told by Master Hand (Who was really controlled by Tabuu) to create an army of ships, and a HUGE FUCKING CANNON TO BLOW THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF EVERYTHING. This would then turn it into Subspace, but suddenly, Kirby destroys the cannon by piercing it with the legendary Kirby Air Ride vehicle, the Dragoon. The cannon then proceeds to FUCKING EXPLODE AND COMBUST ALL OVER THE FUCKING PLACE. Ganon and Bowser then admit defeat and go back to Subspace in the portal.
Luigi: Hey Mario, you see that Ganon Cannon?
Mario: MAMA MIA!

Cannon Rush

A cannon Rush comes from the game Starcraft. It is when the protoss race takes a probe and "secretly" starts building cannons in the enemies base. If successful, it's deadly.
Player 1: Haha, I'm going to cannon rush because I have no skill!
Player 2: Fuck you faggot!
Player 2 has left the game.
Player 1 is victorious!

Potato Cannon

About 20 dollars of PVC and a grill ignitor put together to launch a potato at high speeds in excess of 300 feet. Sounds like a gunshot. Typicly made by bored, immature teenagers, but is incredibly fun to create/play with. If you shoot a potato it'll scare the shit out of everyone within 500 feet of you.
Last friday night some nerdy freshmen made a potato cannon and shot my front door. I then went outside and ran them over in my ford bronco.
