"Our passing game looks like we're throwing the football better in practice on a regular basis... I'm pretty confident we'll be able to throw it and catch it, and I've felt that way before and I suspect it will come to fruition Saturday"

I must admit, my vocabulary has been greatly expanded since he became head coach.

If you needed to know what fruition meant, there was ample opportunity.

You've never heard the term: "Coming to fruition"??

Did he say it funny or something? Because that is a pretty common word and he used it correctly...

Wasn't being serious by saying he actually expanded my vocab... It's just another over-complicated Les'ism

If he would speak this way more often people would get off his back.

I don't think it's over-complicated... And how is using words that you (personally) never hear make a "lesism"?

There was a thread last night showing the ignorance of people who say they don't understand miles. It seem most people who try to turn everything miles says into a joke, are uneducated.

You've never heard of or used the word 'fruition'? It is a valid word and he used it correctly.

You have to admit the quote in that thread was puzzling.

I love the quote in this thread though.

You don't know the word fruition? Did you even graduate high school?

He's probably heard the word before, but since he's a moron, he decided to give it a Lesism. What an idiot.

You've never heard the phrase "come to fruition"? I hope you aren't trying to make fun of him because that is a very common phrase.

edit: I see everyone else has heard it too. I don't get the point of this thread unless it's just a display of ignorance by the OP.

Les sounds like a moron most of the time, but in this instance he used the word 'fruition' correctly and actually put together a coherent sentence in the quote. What are you even talking about?
