lion it

Pronounced lai·uhn it

Phrasal verb

A nod to the enduring legacy of the Detroit Lions.

1. the inability to hold onto the lead

2. to fail miserably

3. to discover a new and impressive way to lose, even when victory seemed assured

Detroit looked great during the regular season but couldn't help but lion it when they got into the playoffs.

The number one Detroit Lions were highly favored against the sixth seeded Washington Commanders in the NFL Divisional Playoff round but they lioned it and lost by two touchdowns.

After a 17 point lead at halftime the Detroit Lions were minutes away from defeating the San Francisco 49ers and making their first Super Bowl appearance. However, the during the second half the Detroit lioned it in spectacular fashion with multiple failed fourth down conversions which effectively handed San Francisco a trip to the Super Bowl.

Detroit really lioned it in the 2008 season and did not win one game.

Lions Butter

The insatiable sense of optimism that overcomes you anytime the Detroit Lions do something that is less than absolutely horrible.

Like beer goggles, but for the NFL team under the Ford family’s grip of death.

Bob: What a Great Game! The Lions only lost by a Field goal. Things are looking up for the team this year.

Bill: Do you always keep your Lions Butter at room temperature, Bob?
