hoop-skirt

A huge broad funnel-shaped hopper-like device that's designed to fit down over-top of a basketball hoop, and to catch virtually all the shots so that they'll go through the hoop.

A standard hoop-skirt is made from heavy canvas or other thick easily-visible material, and is just a novelty/gag item that's intended to merely cause observers to snicker and roll their eyes as they watch the players score a hoop almost every time (similar to when a backyard jokester uses lengths of stove-pipe for guiding the ball when playing croquet). "Specialty" or "stealth" models of hoop-skirt are available, too, though --- they are made from ultra-transparent and non-reflective material in order to be virtually undetectable, and can be used to help "level the playing field" during actual team-competition games; they allow the less-capable/practiced side to increase their chances of beating --- or at least scoring a lot closer to --- their better-skilled opponents.

Red Skirt

A phrase commonly used in some Caribbean islands that refers to an underage female who attends secondary school. The term is derived from the color of the school uniform that these females wear.

Example 1:
Dude, you really need to stop texting these red skirts. You're going to get in trouble with their parents.

Example 2:
Person A: You'll never believe it. My lawyer was arrested.
Person B: Wtf!! What did he do?
Person A: They said he was sleeping with a Red Skirt
