Default Sports Announcer Pet Peeves

Seems like this is the forum for this.

I hate when sports broadcasters adopt and overuse new phases and terminology. These are my examples from the last 3 years or so:

1. Walk off home run
2. Shut-down or lock-down corner
3. Gets it (maybe a local chicago thing, but meaning that the player/GM/whomever understands the correct whatever.
4. Hammer - this is a new one indicating a good blocking fullback. I expect this to be in heavy rotation by draft time.

Anyone else annoyed by this?
