Rage Trade

For sport Fantasy Teams, such as Premier League Fantasy Football (English Football/Soccer). Trades that are made straight after seeing either a player you have in your team does not play/does something stupid, or seeing a player you were thinking about getting into your team go off-tap and score a bajillion points.

Usually made while the gameweek is still going or barely finished.

A viable strategy in fantasy leagues.

Did you see Jerome last night? I made a rage trade this morning to get him into my side, pity I miss out on those 12 points.

I rage traded Drogba out of my side after he put the ball into the back of Saha's head for, what I'm calling, an own goal.

Jack of all trades

A person who is skilled at a variety of different things, but not to the same level as a person who is specialised in one of these things.

Jack of all trades, master of none,
but ofttimes better than a master of one.

trademan's entrance

Typically refers to the backdoor and is usually used as slang for anal sex.

So I tell the swamp donkey to sock it before I give her a trunky in the trademan's entrance and have her lick me yardballs.
