Any of you guys miss the saying "he is on queer street"

[GregDempsey]

that was a great saying..then how about Jim Lampley..did that guy try to make homoerotic statements "young men, of all descriptions, going hard on one another" (from the bowe golota riots..but sounds like a gay porn tag line) how about the time when Michael Moore and Lennox Lewis where ringside watching fights, and Jim said "a very tender moment, as Lennox was foundling Morrison's 3 year old son as he sat on Lennox's lap"....good old jim.....

Grow up.

Do you type with your feet? You managed to get "Moorer" wrong in two completely different ways in the span of two lines. This is an absolutely terrible post.

Anyway, for the literate, Moorer was fighting and Lewis was in the audience. Lewis had Moorer's kid on his lap, and Lampley did in fact make technically correct but unfortunate-sounding use of the word "fondling" in reference to this.

Which isn't really that funny. But the chunk of dead air that came afterwards as Merchant and Foreman (or whoever) silently went "Wait, what?" was hilarious.

Not that funny? I haven't even seen it and I think it's goddamn hilarious.

......no. But the saying 'hands down'.

[Stevie G]

I can remember when I first heard that expression. It was in 1974. In Boxing Illustrated,Joe Louis was reviewing Ali-Frazier 2. He mentioned that Frazier was on 'Queer Street' in the second round when Ali stunned him with a right hand.

Lol sorry for the mispelling, I was half drunk, but I'm not a good speller when sober. I also liked when Gil Clancy would say things like "he's a hooker from way back..."

I refuse to give up on the "queer street" phrase. I use it all the time.

[red cobra]

I hold nothing against phrases that originated in times when the vernacular was more innocent and pertained less to sexual matters than it does today.

[Danny]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Ray Leonard use the same phrase for Tyson-Berbick? "He's still on queer street".

Berbick most certainly was, even after the first KD!

Those were the days, commentary by Barry Tompkins, Ray Leonard & Larry Merchant, for HBO!

[IntentionalButt]

It's been used recently on some broadcast, can't recall which...

[Aussie_Al]

when the vernacular was more innocent and pertained less to sexual matters than it does today.

You beat me to it

If you ever watch any old movies from the 40's and 50's they use words like that all the time which have totally new meanings today thanks to the rump wranglers :shock:

[GregDempsey]

Jack Dempsey had a book called Championship Fighting...it is a damn good book on the tecniques of fighting...bruce lee stole all the parts on punching for his book. Great book, even on training, dempsey talks about what would today be called "interval running" jogging slow then sprinting then jogging...etc. Damn good book, one funny part is where Dempsey talks about the "rubdown man" and how to give a good rubdown, and what oils to use, to the modern ear it sounds very "queer street" but of course back then I'm sure no one read it and thought that.

[GregDempsey]

Grow up.

Did I hit a sour spot? Did big LL fondle you?
