What does the verb "clothesline" mean?

It's a football term.  It's where you block someone by sticking out your arm and cutting them off at the neck.

I like that we, as a community, just jumped all over this question. Good show, fellows.

What does the verb "clothesline" mean?

A stationary person sticks one arm straight out to his side so that a running person will impact said arm head/upper-torso first a drop backwards to the ground. If the attacker is also moving then it's called a lariat.


i, i did not know that was the difference.

thank you.

Don't worry, neither does Jim Ross. But it's not a hard and fast rule. Many people will only say it's a lariat if the attacker is running and I've heard some say for it to be a lariat the attacker must be airborn.

That's what I always thought. I defer to you on wrestling move nomenclature, though, especially since a busybody got our library's copy of PRO WRESTLING'S MOST PUNISHING FINISHING MOVES withdrawn from the system.

I've heard both rules and I'm honestly not sure which is correct. Matt Nute (who really seems to know his stuff) confirms that victim hitting arm = clothesline and arm hitting victim = lariat.  Thus the Clothesline from Hell is technically the Lariat from Hell. I would posit that the miscalling of this move has helped evolve the airborn definition that's becoming prevalent.

Oh, and if you've ever wondered about the difference between sentons, splashes, and Imploding Star Presses then read this.

Many thanks for providing the definition of the verb "to clothesline."

I had never encountered that word before, but now I see the truth of it.

I owe each and every one of you, um, hang on...about 11 cents each.  (I have to keep the one nickle.)

If you imploded before you did the move, would you deal less damage to your opponent due to lack of mass?

This is an awesome link, by the way.

I'm a little hazy here, but would an imploding star create a black hole? Because that would do a lot of damage. Just look at the Black Hole Slam

We drove the baby through the office park where I used to work and while she slept I got pissed at the memories.

I have a silly question.  Does anyone know what the baby's name is?  

I have seen no other nomenclature other than "the baby" (except for Llewellyn Ash).
