In the mid-nineties I lived in the Bay area and listened to a Madden interview on KNBR. He talked about growing up with our very own John Robinson. They used to go buy ice cream and they’d call “bights” which means, for example, if Madden was about to take a chomp out of his ice cream, by calling “bights” you got the privilege of taking a bight out of Madden’s ice cream cone.

So, to put a stop to his friends from getting a free bight, Madden would slobber all over his cone. That stopped all of Madden’s friends from, not only taking a bight, but evern calling bights.

Well, except for John Robinson. Robinson would still take a chomp out of Madden’s cone, slobber and all.
