DG Vocab List - Fun or Catchy Terms

Lawn Dart - a disc that has landed partially buried in the ground, sticking up nearly vertically.

We call that a head stone, or a tombstone. I know a guy that everytime that happens, he takes a picture of it. He likes to record them for some reason.
 
"Sky Rockets in Flight" your drive goes up up up and dies out because you got your nose too high on release
 
We will call people Robin Hood or Christopher Robin if they spend too much time in the woods.

There are a couple of trees on our course that we refer to as the birdie eaters. If you split them on one of our holes you are in great shape for a birdie, if you hit them, you can easily end up in the water.
 
"Jacket", referring to the person in your group who tees off first. Shamelessly borrowed from ball golf (the Green Jacket) and used in two different situations:

1) The guy who won the last game
2) The guy who won the last hole

Usage: "You eagled the last hole, man...it's your jacket" or "I killed everybody last round, so it's still my jacket."

We stay away from murders on the course in Texas. :D
 
War Eagle: When you scam an individual, or a group, on the internet you have just pulled a War Eagle
 
hahaha! Going to be using this one...that's if someone doesn't use it on me first!

fairy shot - a more or less vertical anhyzer, usually thrown short.
Tee dibs - first to throw.
took the escalator - nose up throw that stalls.
jesus christo - a non floating disc that miraculously lands top down and floats.
invisi-tree - the tree you hit that you could not see.
 
My wife has done some forrestry in her days and I remember one afternoon yelling "Daaaaamn Paul Bunyan!"
 
We have two markings for our score card when we play:

DNF: Did Not Finish - When, for whatever reason, you decide not to finish a hole (lost disc you have to search for)

DNFF Did Not ******* Finish - When, for reasons of rage and anger you decide to walk to the next tee without finishing a hole. Usually written on the card after a series of spectacularly awful shots.
 
I made a new one today. At Lenora there is always a good chance that behind 12s tee and inbetween 13-14-17s baskets there will be a small soccer game going. Today there wasn't but my drive off 17s tee flew way left so I told my wife "if it were any other day I would be hitting mexicans".

So now anything shanked left among us is "hitting mexicans"
 
Booger Finger-grip lock
Vaseline hand-disc slips while throwing
Joysticking-when a discs swerves aound many small gaps and trees like the thrower had a joystick.
Javelin-like a tombstone discs sticks on its edge.
Running a Red Light-when someone putts and blows it by the basket.
FISO-"F*** I'm still out"
Speed Bump-when your disc lands on the road.
Paul Bunyan-A player that hits many trees in one round.
Bobsledding-when a tomahawk lands on the stamp side of the disc and slides.
 
Oh yeah, we call noobs aka one disc wonders woodpeckers.
 
Oh man my disc was joysticking today.

14 is a 296ft straight on, wide open shot but right at about 250' there is a cluster of trees, if you shoot dead center you have about 30' of gap, if you are to either side there are several other trees and the gap looks very small from the tee.

Anyways, I threw my core and it headed dead at the tree on the right, then, just like you said, it joysticked to the right and then faded left behind the tree...left me about 30' from the pin which I then sunk.

It was wild watching it juke and jive.
 
Nice, joysticking is my favorite term by far it is the most accurate way to describe a super scandalous shot that seems to find its way through the weirdest or tightest gaps.
