Do you nickname your plastic?

[Johnny Rokketts]

Have you ever given you discs nicknames or call it by something other than what it is?

 

[jhgonzo]

My first Lat 64 disc was immediately named "The Plastic Volvo." Other than that, no nicknames for anything (and I don't even call my Lat 64 that anymore since I've picked up more of their plastic).

My wife's Archangel was George.

Only if they have enough personality.

I call my old DX Ace "Tree Basher". I only use it to smash through trees when needed from the thick rough

 

[skinner21]

I call my discs that are dyed by their design rather by the mold. Like, "bob" is my FLX Drone, "Norml" is my buzzz, "haunted house" is my Stalker, etc. Keep in mind that this only happens when looking for a disc with others helping or similar situations. Since the stamps are wiped off it just makes it easier.

But when by myself (or in my head) I don't refer to them by any name.

I forgot DX Goblin: The Hamburglar

 

[Johnny Rokketts]

Haha! Pretty clever Vegan Ray! I especially liked Souxie the Banshee & MJ the spotty disc! Thanks for posting!!!

 

[mzuleger]

I don't have nick names for my discs... I do put up stockings for them at christmas time though, and sometimes I leave the TV running at home so that they don't get lonely.

 

[simpletwist]

Yep. Not all of them, but some of them.

My putter is a Lightning U-2 I call Bono.
Until I lost him I had a Surge I called Mr. Pink (in deference to Resevior Dogs)
Then there is a putter we call Luke. Can't remember why.
My tie dye Champ Leopard is called the Chameleon because its the God awfulest color combination that can hide anywhere.

 

[LeewayeDiscGolf]

Star Wraith - ACE, my 1st ACE disc. Daredevil Wolverine - Wolvy. Ch. Monarch - Monny. I'm sure there are more but without seeing them I'm too forgetful to tell you what they are.

 

[haier2]

I have a few nicknames for mine..

Emerald - the Stingray I bought in Seattle
Princess - The first JK aviar I ever owned
Stig - The JK aviar I use primarily as a driver (curious to see if any car fans get this one)

I think there are a few more.

 

[Craton]

DX Gazelle: Tabitha, which means "Gazelle"
Star Destroyer: Mr. Bananagrabber
Champ Starfire: Frank
Champ Viking: Leif Erikson
Champ Teebird: Bruce Leebird
Elite Z Buzz: 'Asquatch (the dye job focuses on his derriere)
Banger- Mrs. Featherbottom ("Oh, I'm sorry, in the states you call it a sausage in the mouth!")

Top Gear blows, as does rally racing.

 

[Craton]

Rally racing beats the crap out of what NASCAR has become- which started off as a hybrid of rally racing and showing off who could get the moonshine from point A to point B the quickest.

They're all named "A$$hole" because they never do what I want them to.

 

[simpletwist]

They're all named "A$$hole" because they never do what I want them to.

:thmbup: I've got a few of those too.

 

[Vegan Ray]

They're all named "A$$hole" because they never do what I want them to.

Intriguing choice of nicknames. Is this because your own a$$hole doesn't do what you want it to do? Doesn't hold its contents when in delicate social situations? Won't release things you insert into it? Won't whistle "Dixie"? Won't act as a conduit for pregnancy, despite repeated attempts?

Please expand on this odd statement.

Star Wraith - ACE, my 1st ACE disc. Daredevil Wolverine - Wolvy. Ch. Monarch - Monny. I'm sure there are more but without seeing them I'm too forgetful to tell you what they are.

Pretty much like you, I've just taken to shortening the name and adding a -y, i.e., Valky (Valkyrie), Stingy (Stingray), Arky (Archangel), etc. Except for my Eagle. Eagly just doesn't sound right IMO....
