/ˈkəʊlmənbɔːlz/
[plural] (British English)- the funny things that people, especially sports commentators sometimes say by mistake when they are excited and speaking fast. The word was invented by the magazine Private Eye and named after David Coleman (1926-2013), who often made this type of mistake. It was the title of the magazine's regular list of the funniest examples.
