Yardage

A term used when attempting to sound well-versed in a sport you know nothing about - usually stated three times successively. In this context, Yardage as an arbitrary unit of measurement was coined by comedian and writer Dan Harmon (co-creator of Rick and Morty) during the Sports Corner segment of his Harmontown podcast.

Jeff: So Dan what do you think about the Steelers this season?
Dan: Jeff if I've said it before, I'll say it a thousand times. Yardage Yardage Yardage.

Jeff: The game was played today so what do you take away from the uh Falcons and the 49s.
Dan: Hate to sound like a broken record...yardage. You know? But you gotta keep that ball moving down the field.

Yards

Short form of a name for the game billiards, also known as pool. Yards is much easier to say than billiards, and people often get confused to whether the activity is the game pool or going swimming in a pool.
