As a noun ’slap off’ means a contest involving slaps to the face but G turns it into a verb to describe his crash in the Critérium du Dauphiné.

SPORTSPEAK - ’choker’ definition : player who fails at a crucial point because of nerves, someone who blows a winning position as a result of nervous collapse

RESPECT - Aaron Chalmers first fight wth Bellator : watched by mates from Geordie Shore, The Joker takes a hard knee to the face from Ash Griffiths but doesn’t choke. He fires off a right, follows down to the mat, transitions to standing and wins with a ’guillotine choke’. TalkUsThru respectfully suggests that The Joker continues the ironic ring name theme by becomng The Choker for his next fight. Thank you for listening.
