The Use of the term "slam dunk " in popular culture. The phrase "slam dunk" is often used outside of
basketball, usually to signify success or something that is easily
accomplished or that has a high probability of success. For example, one
could say "that was a slam-dunk performance," though this is seen by
many as being colloquial. According to Bob Woodward in his book Plan of
Attack, former CIA Director George J. Tenet assured President George W.
Bush in December 2002 that the existence of Iraqi Weapons of Mass
Destruction was "a slam dunk case", affixing him to the term [5] George
Tenet, in his book "At the Centre of the Storm", says his comment was
distorted by Vice President Dick Cheney. Tenet claims he said that
conclusive evidence that Iraq possessed WMD would be a "slam dunk" in
promoting the case for war, i.e. a conditional statement, not an
assertion. |
