The evidence has become less frequent in recent years.ġ993 Age (Melbourne) 24 December: The way such festivals bring together writers, publishers and accas, making them all accountable to the reader - the audience - gives them real value.

The editor of Meanjin, Jim Davidson, adds a footnote: 'acca (slightly derogatory) 1, noun An academic rather than an intellectual, particularly adept at manipulating trendiologies, usually with full scholarly apparatus.

The abbreviation first appears in Meanjin (Melbourne, 1977), where Canberra historian Ken Inglis has an article titled 'Accas and Ockers: Australia's New Dictionaries'. We trust that Edmund Weiner and John Simpson did not take a citation, since the Australian abbreviation of academic is not acco but acca (sometimes spelt acker). I hoped, after I left, they would enter it on one of their little slips and add it to their gigantic compost heap - a candidate for admission to the next edition. I asked if they were familiar with the Oz usage 'acco', meaning 'academic'. But not all -o words were Australian, said Simpson : eg 'aggro' and 'cheapo'. Australians used the -o suffix a lot, he reflected.

You’ve just got to push through it, free yourself of that burden, and I promise when it’s all over you’ll feel 10 pounds lighter.Michael Davie in 'Going from A to Z forever' (an article on the 2nd edition of the Oxford English Dictionary), Age, Saturday Extra, 1 April 1989, writes of his visit to the dictionary section of Oxford University Press:īefore I left, Weiner said he remembered how baffled he had been the first time he heard an Australian talk about the 'arvo'. Don’t make the mistake Paul Pierce did and hide it for years. Everybody poops, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. If we asked Occam to apply his razor to this situation he’d say “Lamar Jackson had to poop,” so that’s what I’m going with. Perhaps that’s because he knew how much was on the line, but that rapid movement could have exacerbated cramps, making the whole situation worse. In short: I’ve never seen a cramping player run as fast as Lamar Jackson did to get back to the locker room in the fourth quarter. Cramps often look like a far more serious injury to fans at home, prompting initial freak-outs, before the relief when we hear a player was cramping. Also, when players cramp they walk extremely gingerly, in an effort to alleviate the pain. Typically they have a trainer’s table set up on the sideline to get a massage and rapid treatment, so they can remain close to the game.

Players cramping is a regular occurrence. I’ve watched hundreds, upon hundreds of NFL games. Jackson continues to use the “I was cramping” excuse, which is an interesting one.

Yall trippin I definitely wasn’t taking a - Lamar Jackson December 15, 2020 However, Jackson is resolute that he did not need to poop in the fourth quarter. So no, I do not believe Lamar Jackson “pulled a Paul Pierce.” The run he used to get to the locker room was far more indicative of someone who had to use the bathroom, not someone who accidentally used the bathroom. Extensive pants pooping experience with my 4-year-old has taught me that slow, measured movements are the actions of someone who had a pants accident. The run he made to the locker room was not that of someone who had an accident. Let’s be clear here: I don’t think Jackson pooped his pants. That said, Jackson is going out of his way to hide the potential pooping, saying he “didn’t pull a Paul Pierce,” referring to when Pierce pooped himself during the 2008 NBA Finals, then sat in a wheelchair to hide the crime. I think it’s definitely acceptable to call needing to poop “cramping,” because there are cramp mechanics involved in the poop process. This could be one of those situations where you tell the partial truth to hide the whole truth. I was cramping.' Baltimore Ravens December 15, 2020
