Serena broke three in the book violations in about twenty minutes and disrupted play for at least that long.
Our daughter was a division one high school four year varsity letter tennis player, USTA ranked junior and college scholarship recruited. In her junior HS year she made it to the Ohio State high school finals. During her semi final match she got a really bad call and reacted by screaming “cheese and rice”. The umpire automatically took a game from her, as were the rules for profanity. This game was the determining factor of her loss. She did not use profanity but the ump heard it that way, rightfully so. A tough lesson but it was the rules and it was fair.
“...“cheese and rice”...”
I’ve never heard that clirty before (a clirty is a cleaned up dirty-—sh*t becomes shoot, damn becomes darn, etc.). But the point of your story is well taken. Tennis is supposed to be a genteel sport and not roller derby.
That is very obviously cursing, because the only reason to say that in the first place is to try to cutely invoke the name of our Lord without actually saying it. WC Fields used to do the same thing in movies; he got away with it sometimes.
