Super Bowl Sunday is my favorite day to go shopping, assuming I need to go shopping.

Funny you should mention that.
For several years, the only time I noticed that the super bowl had happened was first,
during my morning commute, after the game. There would be a rather large number of
individuals (all men, it seemed), lovingly going over each particle of activity, never
coming to any conclusion, but never getting tired of it, either. It was the same thing
coming home. However, this was certainly better than them yelling, but either way, my
earphones went in and I worked remotely via cellular based VPN.
At work, football analogies abounded for a few days, which I often needed to Google,
having not paid any attention whatsoever for the other 364 odd days. I eventually found
that knowing the terms was unnecessary because the people using them weren't saying
anything that a technologist needed to hear. I could concentrate multi-tasking on
something else.
I adore being weird.

As a person who spent the first 1/3 of his life being criticized for being interested in

watching grown men chase a ball around in the grass, I'm sensitive to the word and
it's most common connotation.
