Sportscasters (again) seem to have a particular ability to change the way we use language. Basketball players don't jump, they sky, or elevate.
Even reality television has adjusted our speaking. Makeovers have a big reveal. In that case they turned a verb into a noun.
I know language is fluid, just listen to some teenagers for a while, but I believe we should be cautious about too much too fast. We do want to make sure we understand each other... don't we?
