Today's Word(s) of the Day

Boo-tox.

Watching some Judo.  The announcer guy just pronounced the word "buttocks" (butt-ox) as boo-tox.  Amused me.

Still, I don't have a freaking clue how this sport works.  They kinda grapple for a bit, then stand up and try again.  There is apparently a scoring system.  But no one has scored in almost 4 minutes of ridiculousness.

I actually know! Because I took a class at W&M. It was fun. Two points to execute a proper throw. And one for pinning/locking/causing them to tap out. I think. I could be wrong. I did take the class ages ago. But the definition of actually taken down and pinned/locked is really stiff. And to get points you have to maintain control throughout the maneuver as well I think. So it's hard.
