battered sav

Meaning

Noun

  • A saveloy that has been coated in batter and deep fried.
  • A men's gymnastic move where the gymnast leaps into the air, landing in a push-up position in which his groin touches the floor, or, by extension, any maneuver that results in crushing the male groin.

Origin

  • From a shortened form of saveloy sausage. When used to refer to a gymnastics move or similar, the term was first coined by Roy Slaven and H.G. Nelson on "The Dream" in their commentary on the 2000 Olympics Men's Gymnastics (because the gymnast "batters his sav").
