One of my definitions of “jock” has always been that you were just a decent athlete- and then could be a decent skater too. i.e. can you hit a tennis ball? can you hang with decent golfers? will you play garage hockey and approach it like the Stanly Cup if a game busts out? People that say “yes” are more fun to hang with in my opinion..
Jock has always meant asshole in my book. Had less to do with talent and drive than mentality. Jock=macho dick. Conhan, maybe you consider yourself an athlete, not a jock.
I’m with JKP… it means a$$hole. Along with so many other derogatory terms that are taboo and politically incorrect to say that really have nothing to do with race, religion, job status, residential location, etc. etc. So now, I just use the term a$$hole to cover all. Or my new fave, a$$hat.
Cheerleaders never talked to me anyway. I was in the band.
HA! My brother and I were asked tonight if we were a “team”. I said no teams are for jocks, this is skateboarding. Nothing like the fun of confusing and crushing a 12 year old (probably older they all look 12 to me) with a smart ass answer. Good times, good times.

Tommy Stinson dropped out of high school man.

yeah there wasn’t a single diploma on that stage….A good sticker would be “What Would Bob Stinson Do?”

A: Die from alcoholism, I think.
I saw his band after his ejection. It was pretty bad. Can’t remember much else, except it was a sad night. I felt bad for him.

Someone once said “To excel in a physical activity only, even to the level of genius, is to be a jock.” hahaha (yeah, I’m old too!)
