"Fire in the Hole"

[user4144]
[user4144]
You will probably have heard of "shuffle up and deal" and, if you're British, "toad in the hole", but when our announcer started off proceedings, and the post-break action for that matter, with "fire in the hole", there were a few raised eyebrows to say the least.

Speaking to the announcer during the break, he was keen to confirm that his catchphrase was all his own work, although yet to be patented, which I feel is a mistake.

"It's all in the delivery," he claimed. "It's the pause that makes it."
