Your RBR Word of the Day: minatory

by Todd on Jun 9, 2008 7:30 AM CDT

minatory \MIN-uh-tor-ee\, adjective:
Threatening; menacing.

Maybe it's because I never played football and have never had one thrown my way, but I find the minatory glares most coaches give from the sideline more humorous than threatening.

Trust me

having played football AND being on the receiving end of those glances on more than one occasion, it isn’t pretty. A look like that usually resulted in lots of foul language, getting called out in front of teammates, and lots and lots of extra running at the end of practice.

I second...

what Nose Guard says, or the alternative would be, they stay on you the whole practice…along with extra running. I’ve seen it happen to me and others as well, so at least they’re fair…lol

Yeah, it's not so funny

when you’re drenched in sweat, gasping for air, your head aches; it’s even worse when your muscles, joints, and bones feel like they’ve been cooking in a pot for twelve hours and you can taste the stomach acid in your throat. You get one of those glances and have to crank it up another notch when you have nothing left…not pleasant, lol.
