What does 'pick'em' mean?
Name: HD-DVD / Blu-ray Disc*
Background: HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc* are competing formats for the storage of data and high-definition video.
Prospects: These hot new rookies show great promise for taking us to the next level in digital entertainment. But these young stars can't carry the entire team; they only go as far as the processor takes them. ”
" Feedback if all processors are picked "
" Nothing but net! The processors win! Way to pick'em!
You should start by giving your customers an assist with choosing a processor that meets their needs. Then you can help them choose the other components they want. "
" Feedback if any other components are picked "
" Sorry, your Cinderella team didn't make it.
You should start by giving your customers an assist with choosing a processor that meets their needs. Then you can help them choose the other components they want. "
I searched Urban Dictionary and found the following definitions:
Pick'em:
1. An event, usually occurring in Physical Education. Used to select teams for recreational sports in class. A captain is usually selected for each team, and they pick a player to join their team. The more popular or more athletic students are usually picked early, while the unfit and unpopular are usually picked last. Nobody EVER wants to be picked last, as it is seen as demeaning.
2. When there is no favorite team (both teams are considered to have an equal chance of winning the contest) the 'point spread' is a 'PK' ('Pick' or 'pick'em') in which case there is no point spread. In a 'PK' you may wager on either team to win risking $110 to win $100. If the team wagered upon wins, your wager is a winner.
Which of them define 'pick'em' correctly? Or they are both wrong?
