A Twitter thread has been getting a lot of attention on social media in which fans of cricket have been using the best of their creative abilities to come up with words and phrases that can be used while playing the game of cricket and/or... ***.

What’s the word that you can say both during *** and cricket?

There are certain topics that make them rise to the occasion, put in the work and bring out the best in them and comparing *** to cricket is most definitely one of them. Here’s how some of the most hilarious people in the thread responded:
