[Touch Of Death]

Why would I have heard the term?

I thought you might watch the TV, here and there, or watched a sporting event. It was forward of me.

well I googled the expression, this is what I got Hail Mary pass - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

I don't watch American football, husband does but I don't and expressions from American football rarely get used in the UK so it wouldn't be on television programmes that I watch.

Fair enough.

Fair enough.

So I will use an expression you have heard. They are OVER THE TOP.

 

[Tez3]

Er ........over the top or OTT means someone has gone a bit overboard or a little too far when they done something ie Lady Gaga is over the top, I can't equate OTT with anything to do with fighting.

People go to far when fighting all the time, Tez3. That is why they go to prison and stuff. Catsup! LOL

Really? over the top doesn't mean going too far just means going a little over the top

I always thought Hail Mary was a reference to the NFL football pass by roger staubach and the Dallas Cowboys.

Never heard of him. The 'true' meaning of going over the top comes from the First World War when the soldiers had to leave their trenches and go over the top of them to fight, usually they went straight into machine gun fire and were cut down. The war started 100 years ago last year and went on for four bloody years. 16 million died, 20 million were injured, hundreds of thousands would die in a couple of hours after going over the top.

That, my friend, is not what it means at all.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I don't know what a Hail Mary is nor do I find anything 'empowering' about a Bob.

A "Hail Mary" is a desperation play. It's often used in American football.
There's, say, 4 seconds left in the game. If the team with the ball scores, they win. If not, they lose. They're, say, 70 yards from scoring.
The quarterback flings the ball as far as he can and hopes that it's caught. "Hail Mary Full Of Grace, Let Him Catch This Pass!"

And I agree, there's nothing empowering about a BOB. I like mine, but they're just a heavy bag. With anatomical landmarks for targeting.
