"Brokeback Mountain" has become the euphemism of choice

Since the movie came out the term "brokeback mountain" is thrown around quite a bit.

HOUSTON -- Coach Phil Jackson was reprimanded by the NBA, but not fined, and criticized by a national gay and lesbian group because of an off-color remark he made Tuesday night after the Lakers lost to San Antonio.

Jackson was trying to explain how the Lakers' defense kept allowing Spurs players to penetrate the lane and kick the ball out to teammates on the perimeter for open shots. The Spurs made an exemplary 13 of 27 shots from three-point range in their 107-92 victory.

"We call this a 'Brokeback Mountain' game because there's so much penetration and kick-outs," Jackson said. "It was one of those games."

Sheesh. For a public audience, "Charlie-Foxtrot" works just fine.

And by the looks of his apology, he still doesn't get it.

"It's poor humor," Jackson said. "I deserve to be reprimanded by the NBA. If I've offended any horses, Texans, cowboys or gays, I apologize." :wtf:

it's something else.

just another day in this backwards place called america.
