expression

• Long before cell phones, the best way to inform the authorities of a situation without bringing attention to oneself was to use a pay phone, which required the user to "drop a dime" into the slot. As previously mentioned above, today it is frequently misused by sports analysts to refer to a good pass, most commonly in football or basketball. Because the phrase sounds vaguely familiar, once a few ex-jocks started repeating it, the mistaken definition became the norm, to the point where I heard non-jock ESPN writer Bill Barnwell chew out a twitter follower for pointing out the mistake.

  Billy dropped a dime on Sally when he saw her take a library book without checking it out. He slipped the librarian a note when she was away from her desk.

noun - uncountable

• a metaphorical disease where one speaks at length about something one knows nothing about. In other words, running off at the mouth without a clue. Submitter John Voight knows the term existed in deep south (United States) during the 1940's and 1950's as his dad used it frequently. He notes that his dad may have picked it up in World War II.

  All that meaningless spew coming out of his mouth is just a bad case of epizootics of the blowhole.
