DG Vocab List - Fun or Catchy Terms

Apartied - when everyone in the group gets a par on the hole.

It's your box - It's a fun way to tell the guy who doesn't realize he's up that he's up. It's usually the guy that's still cheezin from the birdie he just made.

A rip - The perfect drive. Everyone knows it as soon as it is released.

Frisbee eater - A tree that's always hungry for fresh plastic.

To ice someone - it usually happens when two people are playing and the score is tied and player A makes a throw that is so great that it causes player B to choke.
 
·To "nice" someone – v. As in "You niced me". An apparently nice shot that everyone comments on...NICE SHOT...while it's still in flight. But then suddenly hits something no one expected.

We call this "Yorking" or "New Yorking". It tends to go like this:

"Great shot! Right down the middle!"
"Dude don't York me like that!"
Then a branch appears in the middle of the fairway and knocks the disc down into some thorns.

You can also York someone on a putt, guaranteeing that the disc will bounce off the rim or the chains.
 
I think this is kind of a "local" saying around here, but we have a few severe right hand turn holes on my home course, and our TD for the course is a lefty, so we call them "lefty" holes.
 
oops ...forgot another. "Library putt"....a putt that goes into the basket without touching a chain.
 
Does anyone know where the term "shule" came from? Most of our weird vocab seems at least somewhat logical (tree love, wormburner, black ace, etc.), but shule mystifies me.

Maybe it's a euphemism for "in the sh.."?

If memory serves me I think it was started by the old Winnie Crew- Todd Branch, Dave Feldberg, & Avery Jenkins. But I have no idea how they came up with it. Someone can search the archives of disclife.com
 
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Satellite parking- when you park your drive under the wrong basket
 
"heeere doggy" followed by everyone whistling like their calling a dog, as your disc rolls right past you away from the basket and back down the hill leaving you a longer shot than you started with.

Best part was the complete unexpectedness of the whole event as I rarely disc with these players and smiling about my misfortune as opposed to the normal bout of self doubt.
 
This is one a noob said by accident and it stuck. When someone hits the pole or surrounds it on the ground they are a "Pole Dancer." Oh, and don't forget to throw in the occasional, "Work it, work it, OWN IT!" :D
 
Let's see, lots of good material on this list, but a few more that are worth adding/propagating. Except for "brown ace," which is universal, most of these are terms just my friends and I use, but worth sharing because they always make me laugh.

"Brown ace" -- the term for when a hole has two or more permanent baskets on it and you ace the wrong basket (was playing with a friend who did this back in the spring). The idea here is that it was a totally fluke shot and you didn't hit anywhere near the hole where you were aiming.

"Teabag" - when you jump in a pond/stream to retrieve your disc and the water is waist high. As in "I had to teabag to get my disc back." "I could see my disc out in the water, but it wasn't worth teabaggin' to get it."

"Skirt" - used in a variety of ways to suggest someone wasn't forceful/powerful/confident enough in their shot. For instance, when someone's putt is short of the the basket, "Next time, take off your skirt and putt." Or for a short drive, "Looks like your skirt got in the way of your throw." Or in contrast, if someone has a risky shot and you want to advise them to play it safe, say, "Just put your skirt on and lay-up."

"Viagra" -- used when someone's shot is too low or plows into the ground, as in, "Nice shot, you just need to rub a little more viagra on it."

"Hey ___, it's you're birthday." -- said in a singsong voice, usually accompanied by an obnoxious dance, to try to distract the person throwing/putting. Not useful in tourney rounds, but great for casual rounds with friends when all distractions are fair game.

"Putting for the moon" -- related to the idea that all distractions are fair game, on more than one occasion on game-winning putts, a friend has stood behind the basket, dropped their pants and mooned the person who is about to putt.

"Carrollton Pimp Shot" -- this came about one day at Jimmy Porter disc golf course in Carrollton, TX -- we were playing and came up on old hole 17 and watched a big old guy rip a huge horking backhand hyzer out over the powerlines and down towards the basket. This was a pretty open hole with lots of good lines towards the basket. The guy's throw was such a gratuitous, unnecessary, memorable throw that it earned its own name. So huge, huge, huge full-power, super-high backhand hyzers that waste tons of energy (and can potentially dislocate joints) can earn this name.

"Futher-Mucker," "Son of a Drunken Monkey," "Flibbertigibbit," etc... these are great personal euphamisms for more vulgar terms. Usually, disc golf is happening in a public place, and we help the image of the sport if we are careful with what we say. Also, for what it's worth, I've never seen anyone enforce the rule, but you can get warned/stroked for vulgarity in PDGA tourney play. Find some good personal euphamisms for bad words... the best part is that you sound so silly that it's hard to stay mad. Usually makes me laugh and I forget my frustration.

I know there are lots of others, but those are top-of-mind this morning.
 
Grog

We use the name "Grog" to describe throws that are more power than finesse.
Think of a cave man and grunt "Grog just throws disc and eat" or "Grog doesn't know how to putt.. just drive".

Its common enough in our friends that we're giving a way a plush T-Rex at a bachelor party this weekend as the "Grog Award".
 
I like Black Ace myself. Haven't seen it but I would think that hearing chain from the tee box would be exciting!
 
"Brown ace" -- the term for when a hole has two or more permanent baskets on it and you ace the wrong basket (was playing with a friend who did this back in the spring). The idea here is that it was a totally fluke shot and you didn't hit anywhere near the hole where you were aiming.
That reminds me, there ought to be a term for when you're on a hole where you can't see the basket from the teepad, and you throw a beautiful shot that goes exactly where you wanted it to go... and when you get up there and find your disc, THEN you discover that the basket's actually in the other placement.
 
Grip Lock or Grip Locked - When you hold onto your disc too long on a throw. (heard this one today. pretty true term for many of us.)

hahaha! Going to be using this one...that's if someone doesn't use it on me first!
 
A Nelson Mandela - same as apartied

A Bob Bark er - a high velocity horizontal plinko

A Martha Stewart - a serious nose up drive like newbies tend to do.

A Lieberman - When a person who normally throws RHBH swithches to LHBH and vice versa
