Carol is often tossed around when scores are out of whack... is Carol a real judge? Is this slang for any outrageous score?
Well originally she was an NCAA judge who was a little (ok a lot) extreme in her scoring but now she just represents the crazy NCAA scoring across the board
I admit to letting slip an "oh, Carol," sometimes when someone does something inexplicable out in the real (aka non-gymnastics) world. Carol was Carol before Karen took off her earrings and said, "hold my beer."
I would feel terrible if there was a good judge out there named Carol. But lets be honest, there probably isn't.
