What's with this "Don't nice me bro" stuff?

I don't get it. I've played ball golf for 20 years and taught for the last 10 years. When I see a great shot I say "Shot" which is short for nice shot. If someone gave me any crap for that I would/will put them in the hospital. Maybe nobody has said anything because they know I mean it and I don't compliment very often.

I can't wait for the day someone gives me crap cause we got alot of cholla cactus here in the desert and would gladly slam their face in one.

What's wrong with saying "Don't say that because it bugs me?" If they do it again, sure, now you can throw down.
 
lololololol

I don't actually get pissed when my buddies "nice" me, but I enjoy giving them a hard time just to break balls.
 
The key is not saying it while the disc is still in the air... After the shot you can "nice" it all you want... Nicing while airborn makes strange, random, nether-worldly stuff happen to the disc.

I do it to my buddies all the time!
 
So what is wrong with complimenting someone who parks it from 350 feet when there is a tree guarding the front of the green? Would saying nothing be proper ettiquette?

I have a ball golf mentallity. When my opponent carries a lake 280 yards off the tee and bounces between two bunkers ending up pin high 10 left or right, it's out of respect that I say "shot".

Are the compliments we're talking about delivered with a disrespectful tone?

Nothing at all, I say thank you if I parked that. If you said nice right before I was about to park it and I ended up clipping that guardian, shooting 25' right of the pin and roll away another 12'-15' I'll at least crack a joke blaming you.

It's always out of respect.

It's when you do it out of respect prior to the disc finishing its flight and ends up hitting a tree - that guy will get pleasure out of breaking your balls.
 
It's when the voices in my head start to argue that a problem arises.

As we all know..... "Nice" is derived from the Latin word, niceus, which in turn was adapted to the voodoo word nicetiére. And as we all know, when the voodoos shout "NICETIÉRE," plastic just flies straight into trees. Come on guys, this stuff's been happening for centuries.

Oh wait, none of that's true.

I think maybe you should save all the azz kicking for the ball course. We are more of a fun loving, non beat down type crowd. :\
 
The people like this think that if their disc is in the air, and you say "nice", then bad luck will strike, and their disc will find the nearest aailable tree, rock, pond, hazard, o.b., hooker snatch, etc, and that it was your fault. You understand that's the mentality you're dealing with, right?

What's wrong with saying "nice shot?" I mean I don't think the phrase "nice shot" is too long to verbalize, so much so that it be shortened to "shot.":cool:

^ This is your answer. It's totally based on pure superstition. Most guys will give you some good natured flack, but some other bozos will truly blame you for the bad kick, and these guys ARE true clowns.
 
I think it's disrespectful sometimes. Doing it while the disc is in the air (will usually hit a tree after said word nice is verbalized) or after a marginal/avg shot.

It would be the same thing as nicing a ball golf shot before it clears a hazard and then plunks right in it. Hitting the green from 100 yards but 30 feet away. The latter bugs me when playing with chops, 30 feet from 100 yards is not nice, it sucks. People usually just don't know better.

I usually just donate those to the course. :sick:

+1 as well. I was just trying to keep this to the "it'll hit a tree" aspect - not so much the lack of knowledge/experience.
