Definition of the day- "take a digger"


















1. Commonly used to describe an ungraceful fall.
2. Fall forward or trip and land on one's face
Derived from the volleyball slang- a Digshot is a desperation diving hit that results in a faceful of sand.

Example:
I wasn't paying attention and I took a digger when I tripped on the crack in the pavement. I can't believe I fell flat on my face.

On a personal note, I "took a digger" when my dog Max tripped me while I was carrying a basket of laundry a few weeks ago. Even when I fell I didn't drop the clothes! LOL. Don't let his super cute looks fool you... Max is nuthin' but trouble!!
