DG Vocab List - Fun or Catchy Terms

[Tripper]

Rim job - when what looks like a good putt hits off the rim of the basket. I also sometimes uses this for a putt that goes in without hitting chains.

Tree hate - when you hit a tree and get a bad kick.

Tree love - when you hit a tree and improve your shot.


:thmbup: to makin' minis, that's pretty good! I'm trying to think of more fun lingo we use but I'm drawing a blank... I'll have to come back and post when I think of something goofy

I have refined these terms to be more specific.

If your disc gets slapped down by a limb- treejection
hits last tree before green or first tree of tee- treenied
hits tree and goes toward (or into) basket- treebound
letting noob re-throw a tree shot- treedo

These are horrible terms and I could only really being used by people on a grandmasters card.

 

[Putt for D'oh]

I wonder how far back in this thread I saw

Blowgie - when you blow your birdie putt and fail to save par for the 3-putt bogey. I unfortunately use this a lot after I'm pretty sure picking it up somewhere in this thread when I was brand new around these parts.

Some we came up with on our own-ish.
Jedi Mind Trick - when you talk to the disc and it seems to do what you are suggesting.

Looking for Easter Eggs. - c'mon walking around the long grass trying to find hidden round brightly colored objects

When someone hits a lot of trees in the round I always tell them they better "pray to treesus" to help them out.

Blowgie... that's a new one. I like it! Added to my personal list.

I often do "treesus be praised" when they get a good tree kick.

A voice from the past, post 7...

Thank you treesus. (when it helps)

Around here, star is a term meaning "Everyone got a ... on this hole". The "star xxxx" term may have come from bowling, but it does not belong to bowling.

Words and phrases grow and evolve. Some people's use of words will expand our language, while others cling to the previously accepted definitions as the only correct way. This is no different.

Star (asterisk) is a computer wildcard for 'everything'. If I were looking for a file, but did not know the extension, I would search for 'DiscGolfFile.*'

Note: I'm not saying it didn't come from bowling. Or computers. Or anywhere.

After a drive I threw bounced off a tree and went in the basket, my friend said, "treesus loves you"

I think the term getting "Ullied" has some legs to it.

 

[Casey 1988]

Pulling a Lizzote line.
Sorry if this was done already.

Ricky Putt, aka: Long putt outside circle, not putting with a jump and putt often a high back leg kick/push.

Bass Ackwards, the term people In South Dakota called the Berry Schultz/Dave Feldburg throw.

OK, I'll bite, so what does "getting Ullied" mean?
(and what does my ignorance of this slang tell you about me?)

Check out some recent Jomez Pro videos to get an idea.

In short, they brought in Paul Ulibarri a few times for an interview or just to talk. They ended up showing him some rounds where he played terrible and light-heartedly made fun of him. It made for some good laughs.

Then the term "get Ulied" came around, which can mean anything from getting unlucky on a shot or having a nightmare round, or to be given an interview where you end up having to talk about how horribly you played.

Yep, star frame is a bowling term. Bowling teams are typically 5 people, 5 points of a star. A peeve of mine is the term "star birdie," it is redundant, like saying grand slam home run.

Hitting a home run scores less than 4 runs. A Grand Slam is when the bases are loaded and 4 runs are scored. It has a valid and more nuanced meaning.


Yes, necro post, I know

I always thought that 'Star Birdie' came from the computer world, where the asterisk is a wildcard in a string of text.

Birdie implies a birdie.
Star birdie implies everyone on the card birdied.
∴ Star birdie is only redundant when playing solo.

But yeah, when you say grand slam, it doesn't need to be followed up with home run.

they are distinct but using both at once is absolutely redundant

you don't call a square a "square rectangle"
