Dude, I thought Griffin was going to beat the s!@#% out of that guy that flipped him but somehow he held off. What a puppetmaster!
As used by ESPN commentator Luke Winn when discussing OU basketball player Blake Griffin's role after being flipped, elbowed, hit, and bloodied but maintaining composure without retaliation. Thus, instead of being the "puppet" he was the "puppet master" over his rivals.
when a dude is getting a blowjob from a nakedchick, he fingers her ass and has her say whatever he wants.
dude: so i was getting blown by this skank, and since she was on the rag, i started to finger her ass. When she took my dick out of her mouth, she goes "yea... i could see us dating."
friend: baaa ha haha... and you thought you were some kind of Puppetmaster!
