The Idiomatic Phrase You Thought You'd Thought Of But We Got There First
- athletical smarm
Although middle-distance runners are generally a down-to-earth lot, the most extreme case of athletical smarm occured after Seb Coe won the 1980 Olympic 1500 metres and became the most important person in the world.
After his incredible tussle with the genuinely likeable Steve Ovett, Coe smarmed his way into Thatcherite politics and eventually oiled a path straight to the House of Lords where he proclaimed himself 'Lord Coe'. After single-handedly gooing his way through the IOC and winning the Olympics for that London in 2012, he quite literally 'oozed' so much confidence that he caused the traffic around Trafalgar Square to skid wildly, causing a number of fatal accidents. Undaunted, he will soon crown himself Prince Regent of the Whole Universe.
Sue Barker will be his evil queen.
