"UNOFFICAL" Disc Golf Lingo

[S.Cann]

One that I had never heard prior to playing (so it may not be disc golf exclusive) is DFL.

 

[jherges]

OK, let's hear/see some words, terms & phrases you and your friends say/use on the Disc Golf course!

I will start it off.

A Mad Max =

we call that one a "shark fin"

 

[HotPinkBeast]

Separation Day = Not ideal weather conditions

When Rookies are playing hooky, Cagey/Crafty/Savvy/Seasoned/Wiley Veterans are battling the elements, such as an Artic Blast piggy-backing gale force winds!

 

[notBOB]

got a buddy who calls the basket "the unit" its really annoying

 

[Thumber]

Field Craft - when someone makes a great shot out of the shule with some upside down, through the toaster slot shot at 50 yards i like to tell them they demonstrated great "field craft"

I also like when I see someone throw a shot that is going to hit branches and they start yelling "Get Greasy"

 

[notBOB]

other lingo:

"buckets!" draining anything way outside the circle earns a holler

"no-line-route" shank through some thick that somehow works out

"freaks" or "mutants" refers to big arm pros

"super beginner hyzer" horribly sawed off drive or nose up bullsh!t

 

[Phenn]

"Slap-a-da-chains" - Refers to a short, aggressive put into the basket. Usually happens after the second or third putt attempt.

"You ain't got no bucket" - Exclamation of praise when a ridiculously difficult putt or upshot lands.

"Puddin'ed out" - Backing off too much on a shot out of fear of breaking a hand on a tree, etc.

"Snap yo' bagels" - Usually used to hype up the person next up on the tee.

"Da's ma JAM!" - Exclamation of excitement on a good drive.

 

[RockChalkDiscHawk]

Smacked a tree :wall: = You got "Mutombo-ed" or "Mutombo No Like"

 

[HybridZombiw]

Walkers or "Zack" = term i like to use for park ppl not playing dg or just shuffling around get it?

Tree Hopping = Throw into one tree after another consecutively.

Fly by = Just flying by those chains on the putt.

 

[holotone]

easy putt that comes up short - ask "does your husband play too?" considering the person who missed is a guy.

Cuz girls r lame, hurf durf.

 

[brian j]

"baby come back" sung like the players some from the '70's when a drive accidently turns over and keeps on going. this is usually followed up by someone else in the group singing "you can blame it all on me, i was wrong and i just can't live with out you."

"hungry like the wolf" sung like the duran duran song from the '80's when some one parks a wolf.

 

[Bager45]

Yes Roll- when you get a good throw that lands at the base of the basket but then proceeds to continue rolling all the way down a hill

 

[jcf5083]

Yes Roll- when you get a good throw that lands at the base of the basket but then proceeds to continue rolling all the way down a hill

I call that one a rick roll.

 

[madman1101]

i'm going to have to go with what someone else said in here, just yell profanity at the disc, hoping she listens

 

[ForTheGlory]

I let go of one a little early today and it sailed waaayyyy left.

My buddy said I suffered from "premature edisculation"

 

[araytx]

How about, [imitating Bob Uecker in the movie Major League, "...just a little bit outside...," when you totally shank one.

 

[Rob Martin]

"Too much mustard on that tomato" = over thrown shot (drive, approach, putt)

also phrased as "The mustard to tomato ratio was definatley off on that shot"


and on any shot we will randomly yell "ROLL TIDE! AMEN!" because we think its absolutley ridiculous.

You are from Chicago. It's all mustard on the dog.

 

[BIGHAFNER]

Being "Sneaky" is somehow making it out of a seemingly impossible rough. I yell "Get sneaky!" quite a bit.
