    The term used to describe a series of apparently random and nonsensical selections, which occasionally produce an unexpected victory.

    Also an outdated neoligism was Kidney Infection

    Which was the period after each 6 Nations when irish players had to remember how to play cohesive attaking rugby.

    I'm still upset no newspaper ever went with the headling "Ireland need a Kidney transplant" (or some wittier version of it).

    Acronymity - the art (epidemic on the forum) of identifying a player using only 3 letters, so that only those "in the know" can follow the discussion.

    Like any random punter stumbling on the Leinster forum will keep wondering who this son of a b*tch is that everyone keeps referring to in such glowing terms.

    I'll settle for the banner "All heart, no Kidney" that was in Lansdowne in the days of yesteryear.
