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. |

Reminds me of this scene from CYE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhyGlGgXMxY Larry David is awesome. |

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

Sounds like a euphemism for masturbation. |
