playoff pussy

A person who bandwagons a team during the playoffs, but can't be found during the regular season, and definitely can't be found once the team loses. This individual will become quite unbearable in the face of victory as they join in the collective camaraderie of real fans and proclaim that they "always knew" or "good things come to those who wait" or any other cliché that their monkey brain can churn out...

In preparation, they will purchase several pieces of clothing to rep (hat, hoodie, retro jersey, etc.) from Fanatics and will get that overnight shipping because they're that desperate.

The worse thing is that they will repeat the same process the next year with a different team, unless they're exposed...so...EXPOSE THEM PLZ!!!

Acquaintance: Did you see Carter rocking that Mutombo jersey?

Me: Yup, he wasn't wearing that a few months ago.

Acquaintance: What a pussy!

Me: A playoff pussy...

Playoff Pain

Nico: "that blown 25 point lead was a level of playoff pain that no one thought possible"

Playoff Beard

The hairy result of a superstition turned tradition in the National Hockey League (NHL) by which players of a given team refuse to shave their beards upon making it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In recent years, this tradition has extended from players to fans, making an unkempt beard during playoff season acceptably insofar as one's team of choice is still working toward Lord Stanley's Cup. The beard can only be shaven off under two conditions: (1) The team of choice has won Lord Stanley's Cup and hoist it high as the National Champions; (2) The team of choice has lost the playoffs and must shave themselves to begin preparing for next season.

Mark: Whoa, that's some unruly facial hair you've got going there.

Ian: Yep! The Red Wings made it to the Finals. You know I can't shave my playoff beard until they win...

Mark: Too true.

playoff elbow

Injuries that certain basketball players have, sometimes associated with game 5 losses.

Our team should have easily won the championship but our star player suffered playoff elbow.

Playoff Team

A playoff team is the team that you choose to root for in the post season after realizing that your team sucks.

Person A: I Really Hope the Cardinals win the superbowl

Person B: But you're a Lions fan.

Person A: Yea...but the Cardinals are my playoff team since the Lions suck

Playoff Hangover

The ungratification of your team being kicked out of the playoffs. Usually when your team gets deeper into the playoffs the harder and more difficult it is to understand. It may take days or weeks to knock yourself out of the state of playoff hangover. And if your team improves it makes you want even more for the playoffs to come just to be disappointed again or finally win the championship.

"Year after year, the Eagles always seem to be able to put me in a playoff hangover!"
