Korb

de-noun

Korb m (strong, genitive Korbes or Korbs, plural Körbe, diminutive Körbchen n or Körblein n)

Korbes (genitive)
Korbs (genitive)
Körbe (plural)
Körbchen (diminutive neuter)

Körbe (definite genitive plural)
Korb (dative singular)
Korbe (dative singular)
Körben (dative definite plural)
Korb (accusative singular)
Körbe (accusative definite plural)

From Middle High German korp, from Old High German korb, chorp, from Proto-West Germanic *korb.
The sense “rejection of a (romantic) request” is formed back from the expressions einen Korb geben (“to so reject”), einen Korb kriegen (“to be so rejected”). These derive from certain older customs, which involved a bottomless basket as a symbol of the end or inexistence of love. The further origin of this symbol seems uncertain, though it has been plausibly related to the apparent mediaeval practice of pulling a secret visitor up to one’s window in a basket. Compare the same in Dutch een korf krijgen and Swedish få korgen.

The next events were ones in which selected members of squads participated while the other members watched and cheered. These were net ball, hockey, tennis, and swimming, and followed in the order given.

2005, Liz Ellis, “A Few Words from Liz”, in Netball Heroes, Crows Nest, N.S.W.: Allen & Unwin, →ISBN, page 1:

Another key skill in netball is the art of dodging; a quick, decisive change of direction to out-manoeuvre or wrong-foot a defender and be free to receive a pass or create a space to move into.

2010, Anna Sheryn, Chris Sheryn, “Movement and Footwork”, in 101 Youth Netball Drills: Age 12 to 16, 2nd edition, London: A & C Black, published 2012, →ISBN, page 35:

It may be that this situation arose because of differential investment or more competent coaching in girls' as opposed to boys' sports in that school, but it is even more likely that it arose because of the composition, coaching, commitment, and so on of all other net ball teams in their league on the one hand, and all other soccer teams in their league on the other.

2012, Roger Gomm, “Qualitative Causal Analysis and the Fallacies of Composition and Division: The Example of Ethnic Inequalities in Educational Achievement”, in Barry Cooper, Judith Glaesser, Roger Gomm, Martyn Hammersley, Challenging the Qualitative–Quantitative Divide: Explorations in Case-focused Causal Analysis, London, New York, N.Y.: Continuum International Publishing Group, →ISBN, part I (Problems with Quantitative and Qualitative Research), page 119:

[A]round half the boys were of the view that roles in netball were suitable for both genders while one-third of boys indicated that all roles in netball were for girls only, with the exception of the warm-up coach. Girls were mostly of the view that only the equipment manager was more suitable for boys in netball.

2012, Gary D. Kinchin, “Learning Sport Education through Reflective Inquiry: Four Case Studies”, in Peter Hastie, editor, Sport Education: International Perspectives (Routledge Studies in Physical Education and Youth Sport), Abingdon, Oxfordshire, New York, N.Y.: Routledge, →ISBN, page 171:

(uncountable) A (usually women's) team sport derived from basketball, with seven players on each side who attempt to score goals by passing a ball and throwing it into the opponent's goal, which is a raised hoop with a net at one end of the playing area. Unlike basketball, a player in possession of the ball cannot move until the ball is passed to another player.

Over the years he had stitched Dr. Bailey's black bag, Paul's pram hood, the net balls at the village school, and saddles and bridles for Joan and Ruth when they were small, and kept in trim the footwear that passed and repassed his window as the various owners went about their business on Thrush Green.

1959, “Miss Read” [pseudonym; Dora Jessie Saint], “Sam Curdle is Tempted”, in Thrush Green, Boston, Mass.: Houghton Mifflin Company […], published 1960, →OCLC, part 2 (Afternoon), page 122:

'If we could find our netball, you could borrow it,' she said softly. / 'A netball!' he said in disgust. 'A netball is no use. It is not heavy enough. But I would borrow it,' he added quickly. 'It would be better than no ball at all.'

1992, Eileen Molver, chapter 1, in Rod Nesbitt, editor, Lindiwi Finds a Way, Oxford, Oxfordshire, Gaborone, Botswana: Heinemann Educational Publishers, →ISBN, page 2:

I've never been hit before in my life, except by a netball in PE once, so it takes me a while to realize that my head hasn't just rocketed off the top of my spine but is in fact still attached to the rest of me and that the ringing noise is just the repercussion of the blow sounding in my ears and not an orchestral score blasting from the stereo.

In the MYSA program, organizers made an arrangement with local authorities to provide the young people with access to soccer balls, net balls, and playing fields.

(countable) The ball used in this sport.


baulk line

(snooker) The line at the baulk end of a snooker table, upon which the green, yellow and brown balls are initially placed.


baulk end

(snooker) The end of a snooker table where the green, brown and yellow balls are initially placed

carrying violation

carrying violation (plural carrying violations)

(basketball) The violation that occurs when a player places the palm of his hand under the ball while dribbling. As long as a player's hand is on top of the ball, he can dribble it above his shoulder.


fadeaway

He taunted the Knicks instead with hanging jumpers, impossible fadeaways and layups in traffic.

2009 February 3, Howard Beck, “Bryant Puts on a Show, Setting Garden Records”, in New York Times:

[Markieff] Morris isn’t quite the post-up threat that [Enes] Kanter is, and he can play both the 4 spot and 5 spot instead of just center, like Kanter. He is capable of playing a similar way, backing defenders down in the post. He prefers getting his buckets there with a bevy of fade-aways and jumpers. He’s a heat checker. And he can get hot on the block.

2019 February 25, Brett Dawson, Fred Katz, “How power forward Markieff Morris might fit in with the Thunder”, in The Athletic:

(basketball) A jump shot made while jumping backwards, away from the basket, with the goal to create space between the shooter and the defender, making it much harder to block.


batboy

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-batboy.wav

(baseball, softball) A boy employed to watch over the bats, and assist the players in retrieving them during play.


screamer

But then he came around the wicket again, I slashed at one, and Strauss, at full stretch diving to his left at second slip, took an absolute screamer. It was the catch of the summer, and it happened to me.

His screamer into the right field bleachers in the sixth with Scarborough and Viau on base put Hickory out in front 9 to 8 and the lead held for the rest of the game.

2006, R. G. Utley, Tim Peeler, Aaron Peeler, Outlaw Ballplayers: interviews and profiles from the Independent Carolina Baseball League:

Kasper Schmeichel brilliantly denied Marouane Chamakh before Bacary Sagna thumped home a second, though Bradley Johnson's screamer halved the deficit.
