sportsmanship

[joyamy8]

what is sportsmanship ?

 

[Tony Jollans]

It's a euphemism for doing something which is against the rules but which
some people (those who use the term) like to claim is common practice in
order to justify doing it (and getting away with it) themselves - a bit like
posting an off-topic question in a newsgroup.

I thought it referred to a sea-going vessel for human males who enjoy
practicing the occasional athletic activity!
