Wiki says, “The term “alley oop” derives from French allez-oop, the cry of a circus acrobat about to leap. [1] The “Official History of the NFL” book says that the term “Alley Oop” was first used to describe what is now known as the Hail Mary pass in football, but that eventually the term became used in basketball.” I’m not exactly a sports fan, but welcome to the chronicling of my very own clumsy Hail Mary pass…
Found ya!
