ESPN:  Bloggers, fans remember Steinbrenner

During Tuesday’s coverage of the death of Yankees owner, George Steinbrenner, Baseball Tonight host Karl Ravech talked about how he’d always associate Steinbrenner with the Frank Sinatra song, “My Way.” Because that was the way—the only way that Steinbrenner knew how to do things, for good, or for bad.

That got us to thinking about how you could describe Steinbrenner using as few words as possible.

My word of choice would be “frenemy.”

I fully recognize that the man was a giant figure in the recent history of the game, but much more of this and I'm going to be Steinbrennered out.

Could you substitute a word that an actual adult might use in a sentence?

Could you substitute a word that an actual adult might use in a sentence?

Adults do use that word in sentences. Some examples:

"Did you just say 'frenemy'?"
"What sort of ####### uses a dumbass word like 'frenemy'"
"If you use 'frenemy' again where I can hear you, I'll put a boot up you ass"
"He deserved killing, officer. He kept calling me his 'frenemy'"

Wow, those Germans have a word for everything.
