oppo taco

== English == === Etymology === So called because a right-handed batter would be normally expected to swing to the left, and vice versa. A hit rightwards by a right-handed batter would be the opposite of this. The second element taco seems to have arisen to maintain assonance in the expression; both elements have the vowel sequence /ɑ oʊ/ in American English dialects with the father-bother merger. === Pronunciation === (General American) IPA(key): /ˌɑpoʊ ˈtɑkoʊ/ === Noun === oppo taco (plural oppo tacos) (baseball) A home run where the ball is hit to the same side of the baseball field as one swings the bat from.
