No props for this one
I had an interesting revelation last night. When a person does something good, his friends will give him "props." Example: "Johnny picked me up at the airport at 7 am last Saturday morning. I gotta give him props." How did props come to be an acknowledgment of doing something well? I don't know, but it's a part of our language. It's not a phrase I use too often, but it's a good descriptor.
However, there seems to be no converse to props. What do you give somebody who screws up? Well, I've thought of it: drops. If something good is done, he gets props. If it's bad, it's drops. Example: "Dick Cheney shot his hunting partner in the face? He gets major drops for that one."
Now, I am sure my new phrase will proliferate like rabbits. If so, I expect full credit. You've been warned, people.
Update: apparently, this phrase has already been invented. F you, "BTLS Fan."
