Airball

Noun

Airball is one of those words that had been in circulation for decades before it made it into the dictionary. An off-the-books word until 2016, airball has long been used to describe a basketball shot that misses its mark so thoroughly that it bypasses the backboard, rim, and net, hitting nothing but air.
