Worst disc name ever?

[ejvogie]

But Sinus is pretty bad. It's hard to out-terrible that one. Although it'd be kinda cool-weird to make a theme out of it. Sinus, Adenoid, Tonsil, Pharynx, Epiglottis.

Uvula, Larynx, Alveoli, Appendix, Spleen

Wahoo, not the worst... IMO. And check out the cool Champion stamp if you haven't seen it already! (No need to elaborate on my acceptance of the name due to the fish, and it not saying "WooHoo.")

Mulva?

To everybody hating on the name "Sinus": Do y'all know Lat 64 is a SWEDISH company? :doh:

and? You know what sinus means in Swedish? It still means sinus.

that is like saying to the people who tried selling the Chevy Nova in Mexico "Don't worry that it means Doesn't Go in your language, its an American company so it's OK"

No, that's not what it means in Swedish! (you idiot!) It translates to "sine" a mathematical term used to describe the relationship between two sides of a triangle. Not a bad name for a disc at all. It seems like because some people only speak "American", they expect everyone else to only speak "American" too.

I always figured Sinus (pronounced "see nus") meant something cool in Swedish. Can anyone get a different translation that would make more sense?

The name Macana makes me laugh. Use Urban Dictionary if you don't get it.

This could lead to some interesting posts in the lost discs thread. "Somebody cleaned out the pond and found the Pancreas I lost on hole 7 last year."

Did I not explain "Sinus" well enough? :wall:

1) What does trigonometry have to do with disc golf. The disc is round, the basket is round, if anything there is a tangential relationship with the disc flight, not a triangular one.

2) I don't care who speaks what language, but I don't have to buy a poorly named disc solely because it is in a different language. I like my opto saint, another poorly named disc, but at least I understand the name.

3) You want me to buy a Swedish named disc, call it the ABBA, or Greta Garbo, or Ingrid Bergman. Those names I am down with. You, sir, are the idiot.

You know someone at a meeting to name a new disc has suggested Jules' wallet in Pulp Fiction. Still, it probably wouldn't make this list.

Triangular... circlular.. they are very related!

Ow, that diagram made my head hurt.

 

[glassila]

at first I thought 420 was referring to distance then I figured it out.

Also. There are 3 different texture zones on top of the sinus, if you drew a line between them it'd be a triangle...
