drtrick Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Can someone explain what that actually means? It's appearing often and i've never seen or heard that before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dar2000 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Can you use it in a sentence? If in football terms for example "drtrick takes a dip in the transfer market" it means you have made a small movement in the transfer market, maybe signing one player. If in the real world "drtrick takes a dip in the ocean" it means you have gone swimming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YKW Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 A lucky dip is a game where you pick a thing out of a box and it could be anything. Sometimes good, sometimes rubbish. It's the same as the "if you don't buy a ticket you can't win the raffle" expression. "He takes a dip" = he takes a chance. Probably used to describe a hopeful long shot.

Rob_Bob Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 For a player to 'take a dip' or 'have a dip' generally means to take a speculative shot on goal from distance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
