The Double Teapot
Congratulations Michael Atherton, for introducing some freshness into cricket commentary via (I think) a neologism: "the double-teapot", referring to the ever-so-slight pout in Jimmy Anderson's body language as he stood with both hands on his hips, piqued at his captain's field settings. Question: is this a common colloquial expression or is this a neologism?

Double teapot is a reasonably common colloquialism, especially in sports commentary. Not quite a cliché yet, but you hear it quite often about cricketers and football managers.
Lisa: Thanks. I hadn't heard it before in cricket commentary at least. I can definitely see it being applied to football managers.
