    Can I contend that I never read that post and actually “invented” the term on my own, just a few days after Steakbellie?

    According to the Urban Dicionary and others, the term “table ender” has been around for a long time and the meaning is : “Noun. An act of copulation on or at a table. ”

    In CE this can be taken many ways. Like what chance a table ender has in winning almost any contest.

    You decide for yourself.

    Edith Wharton used the term the same way as Steak in a book called A Backward Glance, published in 1981. She described the way a dinner party was held in the ’60s in France, and the least important people were seated at the table ends. She then referred to them as table-enders. I would think this trumps the sexu

    OK, don’t know what happened there…..
    So this term would trump the sexual term listed in Wiki and those other online dictionaries.

    Steakbellie you are the man! Over the summer I wrote a song called “Table Ender” and it will be on the Hungry and Focused 4 album. I got to give you your props in the liner notes.

    You will soon see the term used in an upcoming t.v. show that starts in Feb on VH1 called “Free Radio”, on the 6th episode Shawn “the vacuum” Kirby uses it to describe the way you guys and gals are introduced… Props to Shawn, Steak and all those “Table Enders” everywhere who travel the country for the pure love of food and the sport !!!!
