The Birth Of 'Whamsauce'


Viral Stats: All over the internet/television

Union CatholicÂ’s Taylor McLaughlin made the internet go berserk with his 400m final win at the New Balance Indoor Nationals. However, it wasnÂ’t the win that gave him internet fame. It was the accidental head-on collision with a race volunteer that coined the phrase "whamsauce" by MileSplitÂ’s Jimmy Stevenson. Before the collision the word "whamsauce" was neither known or said. But now that word lives on in track and field infamy.
