A one-minute clip from The IT Crowd (S03E02) in which Roy and Moss memorize fake football jargon to pass as real men. The scene's punchline is the ludicrous made-up football talk.

Why Hacker News points people here: HN uses it as a joke reference, dropping the quote or clip when a thread's topic echoes the scene.
