Word of the Day


Today's word is "bead" [beed]; noun. Origin: the 'hood.

First, courtesy of webster's online, we have definition 19): draw or get a bead on, to take careful aim at: The marksman drew a bead on his target.

Now, courtesy of members of the "Way 2 Real" 6'2" and under basketball team we add -

definition 20): in basketball, particularly basketball in the 'hood, the blocking, or rejection of an opponents field goal attempt: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAIUUUIIGH Nice bead yo! NICE BEAD!
