Tearing dem shits up

To severely injure yourself (especially knees or ankles) in a way that might possibly require surgery while participating in sports such as basketball, football or parkour.
Many basketball fans, particularly in Memphis love to ridicule Zion Williamson for the injuries and weight issues that caused him to miss a significant number of games but fail to mention how high flying Ja is one dunk away from tearing dem shits up himself just like in the 2022 playoffs.

Dem

Dem/s - Degenerate person/s whom supports/supported the Democratic Party between 1960 and 2021+.

Dem/s - A Member/s Or the Democratic Party in its entirety.
Can you believe it took military tribunals to show the "dems" the truth? I mean the democrats didn't even try to hide it.

Just found out my sister was a "dem", I really need to get her out of politics.

Did you hear about the massive footprint the "dems" have under their control? It's pretty scary.
