In tennis, someone who is no good at all, or who thinks they are good and really aren't. Origin is from "minute steak," 30 seconds on
one side, 30 on the other, to denote winning two easy sets from them.
Origins are in WNY in the early 1990s, popularized by B. Ziemba. (1969- )
Can be popularly used to
mean anyone who sucks at a given skill, not only just tennis.
Steaks
get "torn off" when they
get beaten, as they are always apt to be.
