    I have no idea what the dude was saying, so maybe the context is different, but what's wrong with that "fallacious"?

    From Websters:

    Main Entry: fal·la·cious
    Pronunciation: f&-'lA-sh&s
    Function: adjective
    1 : embodying a fallacy <a fallacious conclusion>
    2 : tending to deceive or mislead : DELUSIVE
    - fal·la·cious·ly adverb
    - fal·la·cious·ness noun


    Maybe Bill Curry isn't the one with the problem.

    uh, it wasn't fAllacious, unless curry's accent took a turn for the strange.

    I'm gonna go ahead and assume you forgot the blue font there, mikey.

    Don't think you get canned for that. Or even a "ride the pine for the next few, kid". At worst, a slip of the tongue (insert BJ joke here). Easily forgivable.

    Shit, if you could get canned for a dumb-ass slip of the tongue, who would provide the commentary for sporting events?

    I'll guarantee that if you thought he meant to say facetious and you heard fellatious -- a word with which I'm sure he's not familiar -- Curry's aim was fallacious.

    One should never assume. ...

    Then what the fuck was it? This isn't kindergarten class, the moddies here let us freely say all sorts of bad words. So why are you playing this childish "I'm not gonna say it" game?

    I think he meant it sounded more like "fellatious" (which isn't an actual word), rather than "fallacious" (which is, but isn't "dirty").

    That's what I figured, but it annoyed me the childish way he acting like he couldn't say it. And he's being stupid-the two words sound about the same, one is a real word, the other is just an urban slang creation. Unless Curry was specifically talking about sucking dick at the time, I think its safe to assume he meant fallacious.
