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.
pitch·ing wedge [pich-ing wej] -noun
-noun
1. A girl that only looks good from about 20 yards away: Ed thought Mary was bangin’ from across the hall, but when he got up close he saw her busted grill and realized she was just a pitching wedge.
[Origin: The mean streets; see Butterface]
