Abstract
What do sports writers mean when they say one team “gouged,” “whumped” or “whipped‘ another? Do certain verbs indicate the amount of point-spread between two teams? The authors found sports writers communicate fairly accurately with each other and with regular sports readers, but not strangers.Keywords
