I was totally convinced that I had something original for you today. I was so proud of myself that I decided to add it to Urban Dictionary. Of course, it turns out that pitching wedge has been around since at least 2004. *Sigh* Regardless, it is pretty obscure and we came up with it independently. If nothing else, it should get some you some chuckles on the links.

hahaha i thought that “pitching wedge” was going to be slang for someone walking around with a wedgie and not realizing it. i think i prefer that usage.
From Clueless:
Tai: Do you think she’s pretty?
Cher: No, she’s a full-on Monet.
Tai: What’s a monet?
Cher: It’s like a painting, see? From far away, it’s okay, but up close, it’s a big old mess.
Nick - I like it: ‘Man, I am seriously pitching wedge right now- can you see the cleft?’
