I just heard this commonly used statement on the Game in reference to Konerko. It is used all the time in football. I have always found it weird to call an athlete practicing technique to be referred to as a craft. The jobs that most of us do would not be considered a craft. I looked up the definition, and I guess it fits the manual dexterity aspect of the definition. It just always sounded weird to me to refer to athletes' jobs, football especially, as a craft.


craft (krft)
n.
1. Skill in doing or making something, as in the arts; proficiency. See Synonyms at art1.
2. Skill in evasion or deception; guile.
3.
a. An occupation or trade requiring manual dexterity or skilled artistry.
b. The membership of such an occupation or trade; guild.

It doesn't seem that witchcraft is really a craft at all.

Sounds like a euphemism for masturbation.
