SLAP OFF - ’I must have been going too fast to slap off, but it didn’t feel any faster than the recon really to be honest. But it must have been a slightly different line, and one little stone or whatever, and that’s it’. New usage from cyclist Geraint Thomas there! 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.

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.
