Lee-isms, Volume 1
Jason Statham – verb/noun – to witness or become victim of a highly improbable act; often achieved with little reason or effort.
Synonyms: Bamboozled
Example Sentence: I just got Jason Statham’d last weekend when my brother beat me in NBA 2K 2 with a double overtime, buzzer beating, running, underhanded “Grandma” shot...from half-court by Quinn of the Miami Heat.
Lee’s Logic: While entertaining some of the times(I dug The Italian Job, Lock Stock…, & Snatch), many of Mr. Statham’s recent movies have been so far fetched, that only Jason Statham could pull it off. For example, Crank 2, focuses on an individual who drops a few thousand feet from a helicopter (after doing multiple drugs), and is abducted to have his (what should be useless) heart harvested. This guy (Chev), then goes on a citywide spree beating peoples ass AFTER he has his heart taken, trying to get it back.
Now, Etan Thomas of the Washington Wizards, a pretty fit guy, I might add, had elective hard surgery, and it took more than a month for him to walk a short distance without becoming winded…and he still had a heart! I’m just saying. Transporter 2 was so much more outlandish than Transporter 1 that I didn’t even bother seeing Transporter 3.
-----------
M. Knight – verb/noun – An event or set of circumstances that initially looks promising, but turns out to be a monumental waste of time.
Synonyms: Conned, Hoodwinked
Example Sentence: Remembering that I was M. Knighted by going out with old girl from last week still raises my ire.
Lee’s Logic: C’mon, you’ve seen M. Knight Shylaman’s body of work. Unbreakable, Signs...The Village!
