Hot Babes On Center Court

Daniel Hamermesh:

Fox News reports that during the early rounds at Wimbledon, a lot of second-level, but good-looking female tennis players have been on Center Court, while some of the stars have been relegated to side courts.

An event organizer noted, “It’s not a coincidence that those (on Center Court) are attractive.”

Not at all. The price of TV rights is based on viewership, so the sponsors want to maximize it: “Our preference would always be a Brit or a babe, as this always delivers high viewing figures.”

Earworm

Urban dictionary definition:

Most likely originated around the time of Hanson’s “Mmmbop”; an earworm refers to any song that is so catchy, and at the same time extremely annoying, that it feels like a worm has crawled into your ear and eaten the intelligent parts of your brain so that you hum the song all day long, no matter how much you hate it.
