a term used by football (soccer not NFL) players for halving your age so your career can last longer. a practice developed after they had to play for a decade before being discovered by talent scouts at which point they only had a few years left in them. they would then say 'i'm 20' when they were almost 40 and a half. smh. your age as should be known by the public. not necessarily on your birth certificate.
ed: that striker looks my dads age but he said he's 24!
word: yeah thats probably just his football age...
