June 04, 2007: Kodak courage
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Kodak+courage&defid=911748
- An extra dose of courage and the tendency to go beyond one's usual physical limits when being filmed or photographed (from action sports such as skateboarding, snowboarding, and extreme skiing).
I was a bit nervous being the first to hit the jump, but when you're with the film crew you get that Kodak courage.
Trivia:
What sport gave us the term stumped —meaning “defeated” or “outwitted”?
- Cricket. During the game, the pitcher who succeeds in hitting the wicket, or stump, has outwitted the batter.
