The first episode of HBO’s 2023 Hard Knocks season got off to great start with the New York Jets, with no shortage of noteworthy moments.
For me? It was all about the car-coochie board.
That was how defensive tackle Tanzel Smart pronounced it when he was talking to some defenders including Solomon Thomas. He was all about wanting to “go to a Broadway show” and eat a “car coochie board.”
Yep, it’s charcuterie.
Did he get that from TikTok? Perhaps. But this is what got the most laughs after Episode 1, and I’m never calling it anything other than that ever again:
