18 and 1

Synonymous with complete failure despite supreme confidence. In perhaps the biggest upset in Super Bowl history, the NY Giants defeated the heavily favored New England Patriots who entered Super Bowl XLII with a perfect 18-0 record. So sure of themselves, the Patriots filed applications to patent the phrase "19-0" and "19-0 The Perfect Season" more than a week before the game, only to have their collective asses handed to them by the Giants.

18 and Lost

A phonetic play on words on the NFL's New England Patriots 18-1 season. Instead of "Eighteen and One" or "Eighteen and Won", the appropriate term should be "Eighteen and Lost".

Pats Fan: "Yeah, well, the Patriots still had an amazing 18 and 1 season".

Giants Fan: "You mean '18 and lost' .... Sucka"!

Pats Fan: "I'm going to go cry now and masturbate to my Tom Brady Poster".
