What’s wrong with slam dunker?

Class notes from today:



nc: “Why isn’t this case a slam dunker, a no brainer, and easy win for the plaintif?



student: “Professor Camic, it’s not a slam dunker because you can’t say anything is a slam dunker. The word is ‘slam dunk’.” [here student makes a swift and forceful hand motion implying some baseball move that is unrecognizable by me but appears to satisfy the visual requirements of what is a slam dunk]



The edification of the immigrant continues.
