Worst disc name ever?

[j0atz]

Opposite view here. Terns in my mind are badass birds.

Never knew them as birds. It just seemed to me like they misspelled "turn" because it turns. Just seemed lame at the time...but I got over it. If I would have thought of it as a bird I wouldn't have cared.

I vote for the Graboid sounds like something frlm Tremors.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to sound like something from Tremors.

 

[Martin Dewgarita]

Another vote for the Tern being a badass bird. Seriously, do the research.

Something tells me a company will not put out a putter called the Tantrum.

"What did you throw right there?"
"A Tantrum."
(Other player sighs deeply as you miss the ten footer and throw a real tantrum.)

Other choice would be a Hissyfit.

I would enjoy throwing a Tantrum if other pros would throw it. Or put up with it.

Also, I nominate the Innova Wahoo. Rofl

Yes! I knew I was forgetting a big one.

Wahoo is possibly the worst disc name ever. Seriously.

I declare Virus as the winner of worst of the worst. Thanks for voting.

No way, Virus is cool! :thmbup:

Joking no doubt!

I hear the guys at Axiom really like AIDs, Cancer, Diabetes and Disease also for the speed 12 high speed drivers. AIDs will be the most stable while the Disease will be the least.

The Virus is NOT a catch disc.

No, no, no... A wahoo is a badass sportfish. Bigger than a mahi May I, but not as big as a white marlin. And since it floats it's a pretty good name. Stingrays, Shark, Mako, and WAHOO!

Ya, a Tern is basically a really bada$$ Seagull.

Jeez dude you must be the life of the party!

Virus is a cool name because it's unexpected and something people don't want. And to quote George Carlin, you are all diseased . Get down with the sickness of disc golf!

But how is Virus any different from something like Nuke or Destroyer? They all can kill you. Virus just instills a sense of illness... I love it.

Procrastinating at work, I researched "Sinus" and apparently it is latin with two potential meanings:

sinus: curve, fold, bend /pocket, lap /bay, gulf.
sinus: inner feeling, secret heart.

So those sound right, it is overstable and will bend, and maybe it gives you an "inner feeling" if you are into that kind of thing

The disc has a latin phrase on it:

"is mos non sinus obvious ventus"

I used google to translate it from the latin and I got:

"it will not allow the obvious favorite"

but there are variations, particularly "ventus" could mean wind, and sinus turn, so I think it really means something like:

"it will not turn in heavy wind"

Good use of an overstable driver.

 

[Savage Henry]

The latin phrase on the Sinus is supposed to mean "I will not allow access to the wind." But if you speak latin it is gibberish nonsense.

Cool, well at least we have an idea what Lat64 was getting at with that name.

Still makes me think of sniffling and spitting loogies. Something I tend to do a lot on the DG course, but not something that makes me want to buy the disk :doh: I'll stick with my Zone for now

I should have figured, Innova would (almost) never stray from an animal name for a disc.

That said, I think of 2 things when I hear Wahoo.

The Virus is NOT a catch disc.

It might be extremely catchy. Time will tell if it's pathogenic or not
