The "luger" jokes are inevitable, but you won't hear them from me

Actual transcript*:

“Well, thank you for asking, Bob,  I’ve done some research on this subject and it appears skeleton luging, or “skeleton,” actually came about as sort of a “frat-boy dare.” It was very much a “hey, let’s see what happens if we fly down this amazingly steep sheet of ice head first” moment and it caught on, and Bob, you can see the result: Skeleton fever is sweeping the Olympics. It may be true the sport lacks some of the historical significance of something like the marathon or cross-country skiing, but what it lacks in history it more than makes up for in excitement and fun!”

-Olympics correspondent when asked about the history of skeleton luge.
