A controversial call during the New Era Pinstripe Bowl on December 30, 2010. Adrian Hilburn, a receiver for Kansas State University, gave a salute to fans after receiving a touchdown. The officials acted within the NCAA rules at the time, and gave a 15-yard penalty to K-State on the following 2-point conversion try, which failed. Auburn won the game 36-34. The NCAA changed the rules the next year to penalize only taunting, not celebrating.

K-State Fan B: With the Bronx Salute? It still boils my piss to this day.

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
