Colemanballs Colemanballs is a term coined by "Private Eye" magazine to describe verbal gaffes perpetrated by sports commentators. "Coleman" refers to the surname of the former BBC broadcaster David Coleman and the suffix "-balls", as in "to balls up", and has since spawned derivative terms in unrelated fields such as "Warballs" (spurious references to the September 11, 2001 attacks) and "Dianaballs" (sentimental references to Diana, Princess of Wales) and "Borisballs" (Boris Johnson). Any other subject can be covered, as long as it is appropriately suffixed by "-balls". The all-encompassing term "mediaballs" has since been used by "Private Eye" as its coverage of gaffes has expanded.
