    I thought the Duke cheerleader scandal was finally going to see the light of day. ;D

    I don't have a problem with the headline.

    No... I mean, with a name like Smelley, what are you going to do?

    Hardy. Har. Har.

    And I can't really weigh in because I'm distracted by thoughts of Spurrier tapping...

    1. Tap

    1. To begin to harvest
    2. Gently hit or touch
    3. Proceed to sex, fuck

    I can see OP's point. But it's young-person slang. I don't think this general public knows this thing.
