He hit a home run with his girlfriend last night.

I asked Bob to tackle that problem.

Britany Spears sure did a belly flop at her last concert.

She did a hat trick with some guys last night.

He shot an air ball with that Smith contract.

He dribbled after turning from the urinal.

Ok, my mind is in the gutter today.

Edit: What does “get off my jock” mean? I’ve never heard it.

Go hit a home run on this one, Bob

Loosen your tie. We’re going into overtime today.

Seriously, get off my jock

Let’s run the extra mile for this one.

Way to get a hole in one with that presentation!

If you don’t get off my jock, we’re gonna get married!

*get off my jock means get off my case. It’s an older expression first used about the time I got married…err…met my inlaws…err…..whatever…..it’s mainstream and it’s been around since the eighties

Hookin up…I got to first with her..etc

In telecomm a home run is a str8 wire run..
