On any given Sunday -- OK, maybe Monday -- some Big Firm lawyer is proving his point to a clueless associate with a phrase like: "Hey, rookie, you're in the big leagues now. It's fourth and long -- are you going to go for it or punt?" If you have no idea what this lawyer is flapping his lips about, you could give the wrong answer to a very important question and stall your career in the process. Humor columnist The Snark explains sports jargon so that you, too, can be a team player at the firm.

On any given Sunday — OK, maybe Monday — some Big Firm lawyer is proving his point to a clueless associate with a phrase like: “Hey, Rookie, you’re in the Big Leagues now. It’s fourth and long — are you going to go for it or punt?”
If you have no idea whether this lawyer is flapping his lips about baseball, skeet shooting, figure skating or all three — much less, why — you could give the wrong answer to a very important question and stall your career in the process.
