I'm sick of people saying:

Fire in the belly :owquitit:

and

Honey Badger:owquitit:
 
Where did all this honey badger stuff come from? I had never heard of it until the guy from LSU got that nickname. Since then, I hear that term all the time.

Check youtube. It's a pretty amazing animal that lets Lions and other predators bite it's back while it just keeps eating.

The first I heard it being used in NASCAR ws last year when Jenna Fryer christened Montoya 'The Honey badger'.

MoeJoe, I'm a little tired of people telling me what they are sick and tired of hearing. ;)
 
I'm sick of the tv guys talking to all the viewers like they've never watched a race before. I guess a few people are new but the majority aren't and don't have to be told what a wedge adjustment does.

I remember when this began in earnest. Buddy Baker had to explain everything two or three times during a race and then would do it all over again the next race. Since then, it's been a staple of televising races. I think it got started when NASCAR was on the upswing and many new viewers were asking questions. But think of this. How many race programs have the definition of the various flags? Even programs in the popular sport of football have the definitions of the ref signals.

When races are on networks like FOX and ESPN, it's very likely there are many first time viewers. Ratings were up on FOX and ESPN last year -- my guess is that many of those viewers were watching for the first time.
