DG Vocab List - Fun or Catchy Terms

[Donovan]

I would love to hear the list of terms you have heard or came up with that seems to be catching on in your area. Here are 2 I have been using recently. Please post as many as you want. It will be interesting to see what kind of list come out of this.

Dead Man - when your putt hits the side of the basket and falls straight down to the ground. Note: This came from a guy in Fort Worth who is a pretty good player. Didn't get his name though. I had to make the joke of saying, "Dead Man Walking." when his friend was walking toward the basket to pick it up.

Chain Smoking - This is when someone has made 2 great putts in a row. He is considered to be Chain Smoking on Chain Smokin'.

Olorin,

Anybody else have any?

We use the term "munson" for when a disc gets stuck in a tree.

Orlin,
Where and how did you come up with so many crazy terms? Nice work, I like them all. I mean how often can you use black ace? Has that ever happened?

Plinko - a disc falling from a tree

 

[DGtourist]

And
Tree-nied. (when they don't)

we will have to add ours to Orlin's monster list in the end.

Gust from the Gods - when the wind completely changed the shot (sometimes good and sometimes really bad)

Going South - when your disc starts diving down into a drop off, like a creek or gorge instead of making it across as in "You're going South."

Olorin,
Those are great, where did you get that list from?

These were collected from a similar thread on the PDGA message board where I used to spend way too much time. I've got a bunch of stuff like that I've collected over the years.

You can find more stuff like this at DG Resources, http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/DGResources/

 

[Olorin]

I read a new one today-
LAMs- Long Armed Mutants

 

[Donovan]

We came up with another one for when your disc hits a tree root that is sticking out of the ground. You were 'Up-Rooted!'

 

[DirtyMittenDG]

"merked", when you get hit in the head from someones throw off of the tee

 

[magictenor1]

How often does that happen?

 

[DirtyMittenDG]

ive seen it twice, one was alright, the other was kinda bad, but both somewhat funny, moments I wish i had a video camera for, the best part is that it happend both times to the same person,

 

[JogginJohn]

I don't know about the head, but I have been hit in the back of the hand by someones tee-off. Getting hit by a drive at 5 ft is no fun at all.
