For specific readers
Why is this section here?
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

(South Africa) goal! (cheer when a goal is scored in football).
- bulge the onion bag59%
A wonderfully evocative piece of British football (soccer) slang for scoring a goal. The 'onion bag' is the net of the goal — it looks like a string onion bag — and to 'bulge' it is to hit the back of the net hard enough that it puffs out satisfyingly. The phrase is beloved by football commentators and fans alike for its vivid, almost sensory quality; it captures not just the fact of a goal but the physical thrill of the ball slamming into the back of the net.
