Leafy: Adjective — refers to the essential state of “never having nice things” due to a cosmic misalignment, a curse, or the ire of a particularly capricious god. Leafiness manifests as particularly absurd negative outcomes that make people laugh at the Toronto Maple Leafs on social media.
1967: It was a very good year.
2021: The most bitter lesson.
There’s no curse, no capricious god, no cosmic justice keeping the Leafs down and providing you with an excuse in advance to have no hope. There are no excuses left, you’ve used them all up.
