The FIRST Devil's Dictionary

The Verge published a new edition of The Devil's Dictionary, after Ambrose Bierce's original of over a century ago. (A little strong language in there.)

I'm sure you've got some definitions of your own...

Blue banner (n.) An indisputable symbol of excellence in competition or onetime possession of $300.

Championship (n.) A systematic means of determining that you may or may not be the best in the world.

Cheesecake (v.) To run circles around an alliance partner to run circles around the opponent.

Corn dog (n.) Verification that one was paying attention in 2014.

OP (adj.) 1. Overpowered. 2. A captain who only idiots decline at alliance selection.

Scorched earth (adj.) Ensuring you will win your division by ensuring you will never win Einstein.

Let's hear them.
