Rowing

One of the hardest sports in existence. Everything else is just a game. Rowing is not to be confused with sculling, in which each person holds 2 sculling blades compared to just one in rowing.
Rowing is about racing, mostly over 2000 meters. Boats can range from holding one sculler, to 8 rowers and a cox. The whole aim of a good rower is to get his blade into the water, pull as hard as he can and get the blade out again. He has to do this as efficiently as possible, ensuring his energy goes into making the boat move forward rather than slowing down.
The stroke a rower takes can be divided into seperate parts:
1. Back stops, where the rower is sitting back with the blade close to his body ready to move off, with the blade turned 45 degrees in relation to the water.
2. The arms move out to full extension.
3. The body leans forward
4. The legs compress moving the body up the slide until the shins of the rower are vertical. (this is called front stops)
5. The catch, where as soon as the rower reaches front stops the blade is placed in the water and pulled as hard as the cox tells you to.
6. Reverse the steps above with the blade in the water, bringing the blade back round to the body
7. The finish, where the blade is raised out of the water and feathered to lower air resistance, ready to start another stroke.
The rowing season essentially never ends, if the weather is bad outside we do ergo's and weights in the gym. Ergos are soul destroying hateful pieces of equipment. If possible stay well away from them.
However, rowing is the most rewarding sport, i got into the first 8 at school and now we are getting ready to race at Henley Royal Regatta. :D

Fat boy, pull harder you freeloader!! Rowing isn't the sport for you if you arn't willing to die for it!

rooting for the meteor

What a sports fan does when their two most hated rivals face each other, especially in a championship match. Since rooting for either team would be sacrosanct, the only possible positive outcome would be for a meteor to land and simultaneously obliterate both rivals.

Mets fan, 2009
Yankees fan, 1986

Fan 1: "I'm not even watching the World Series this year. You?"
Fan 2: "Yeah, I'll be watching. I'm rooting for the meteor."

Rooinek

A ‘rooinek’ (Afrikaans) or redneck (English) is a Southern Afican term for an English speaking South African or Namibian. This nickname was given to the English speaking settlers in South Africa. These new settlers (of 1820) were not use to the sun and had their necks burnt red while the earlier European Settlers (of 1652) have grown accustom to dealing with the sharp sun. This term should not be confused with the term ‘khaki’ or ‘soutpiel’ used to describe the British in South Africa during (khaki) and after (soutpiel) the Boer Wars.

That rooinek plays rugby well. That rooinek cannot braai to save his live. The rooinekke in Natal are a bunch of tough farmers.

roying

When a confident hetrosexual male decides to set himself a challenge and find a sexual partner for the evening. He must then attempt to try and pull a straight middle aged business person of the male variety, preferably married.

1: Look, there goes Jimbo. He's pulling some weird bloke this evening.
2: James is so gay
1: No, he's just Roying
