yard sale

People place used household items, clothes, etc. in their yard and offer them for sale. Usually held on a week end, a "yard sale" often involves one, or a few families who pool their unwanted items to sell, often very cheaply.

Parallel term: "Yard saliing." To drive about from yard sale to yard sale.

I bought this sweater at a yard sale for a dollar and a half.

The Jones family are having their yard sale next week/

Stomp the yard

In football, when a fourth down results in a turnover and the distance to a first down was exactly one yard, every now and then one player on the team that lost possession will lose their head and won't let it go. The player delivers a late hit to the opponent who made the turnover, removes his helmet and places his head on the football and tells him to bite the ball. The player then proceeds to stomp directly on the back of the opponents head, causing a forfeit of teeth. Usually, the player who loses it was the one who lost the ball, but not always.

Oh no, somebody call an ambulance, Armani Louweney is about to stomp the yard and Johnny Lathits is going to need serious medical attention, possibly a death certificate and obituary.
