Anyway, here's the story. I go over to Wildwood to watch 21st Century Dave coach his Wildwood Lady Warriors. He's on the sidelines yelling, yelling, yelling. The girls weren't at their best that night.
He was so mad after a turnover, he yells, "Why don't you just TELEGRAPH it the next time?"
I look around the stands- and his bench. Everybody's asking, "What's he MEAN?"
)))
Yep, I remember that night well. What I remember most was that you weren't really watching the game. You had your eyes on the female coach of the opposition
Isn't it odd though, there were 2 people in the gym that night that knew what you meant, and the other one is being critical of YOU?
Javy,
I had no idea what a telegraph was, either.
When his kids looked so bewildered, I asked myself, "What would JAVY do?"
Pulled out my phone and GOOGLED it.
I thought it was still a common expression to say you are telegraphing something when you are giving away a secret. A pitcher can be telegraphing his pitches, which is another way of saying tipping his pitches. A boxer could be telegraphing a certain punch with the with the way he moves. A poker player with a "tell" is telegraphing what he's going to do. I hear that expression used frequently when watching sports.
