to be slick with horn at the racist, sexist and homophobic fest

. . . that is euro 2012?

have been loving it until today when my daughter expressed disgust at the sexism and homophobia (I just added racism for good measure) and said footballers should DO something with their privilege - obviously that would be NICE but in meantime surely we are allowed to enjoy watching it?

Slick with... horn? Is this a trendy young whippersnapper phrase?

What could it possibly mean? I am boggling.

I just saw a dreadful AIBU title and thought 'why don't people THINK before they post' and then I posted without thinking

Not too sure about slick with horn. Wayne Rooney, John Terry? Rather you than me Alameda. Give me those lesbians any time.

So, hang on, you are feeling very happy about Euro 2012 despite the 'issues' you mentioned in your title?

And you really meant slick with horn?

Just getting it straight in my head.
