DG Vocab List - Fun or Catchy Terms

[karottop420]

Pucker factor-(puckering of the anus) that shot that just misses the tree or stops inches from dropping in the water "that shot had some serious pucker factor!"

 

[Cgkdisc]

esdubya - As we were walking down a fairway I accidentally kicked a stump and almost fell. She blurted out something. That something was a very funny word, but I cannot remember it, and it's driving me nuts.

We call the small stumps (<3" diameter) that typically remain after a new fairway is cleared "bungee stakes" (Vietnam reference) that you can stub your toe on.

 

[Clarkey]

There's lots of sayings around here for good shots. I played with a guy the other week and every other shot taken he'd say - 'That dog will hunt' or 'That dog'ill hunt'. Cracked me up

 

[5slamma]

"Get clean!" when your drive is hazardously close to hitting an obstacle. I like to yell at my discs "get dirty!" just because my mind is in the gutter

 

[jtreadwell]

We "get some tree love" when a tree saves the day

"Lumberjacking" is hitting a close by tree two or more throws in a row

"Snaking a par/birdie/eagle" is managing a good score on a hole with one incredible shot that you otherwise completely butchered.

"B!tch Branches" are those tiny little trees/limbs that nevertheless manage to completely kill your shot.

 

[jtreadwell]

I have heard many people say "local route" for the route you inadvertantly take on a botched throw that lands near the basic. It is semi-sarcastic, but it has become common place to hear people call that shot a local route.

We call that "taking the path less traveled by" in my part of the woods

 

[Danger]

I, for one, am getting tired of hearing 'FLIP UP!!!' around these parts.

 

[IHearChains]

"get new" -- said while disc is in flight, when you want your disc to come out of a turnover and finish left (RHBH)

"ninja branch" -- that one little branch hanging down in the fairway, sometimes invisible from the tee, until it knocks your disc down from what appeared to be a nearly perfect throw

"pucker factor" -- high degree of difficulty or high intimidation level, said when stepping up to throw from a tee where there's no safe option or lay up available, and lots of disc loss potential and/or OB. For example, having to carry a long ways over water into a stiff headwind and finish on a narrow peninsula. I've always heard it used this way, different from the usage mentioned earlier in the thread.

It's actually punji.

 

[Cgkdisc]

Yep. But since most players 'bounce up' after stubbing on them it somehow transformed to 'bungee' instead.

 

[karottop420]

Tin cupping - going double or triple OB on a hole. Watched a guy OB 4 times on one hole my first tourney.

Squid- the guys that go swimming for discs. We have some around here that call the numbers on the discs.

 

[basketcase15]

local route is dope

 

[basketcase15]

round hurr it would be the yokel route der hey

 

[Thumber]

I have been hearing stable out this year when a disc is dangerously close to the right side on a rhbh

Greasy Line for an errant throw that somehow flies clean through the trees

Pan-Hyzer - those long floating putter and approach shots that start anhyzer and never come back

 

[kevdiv48]

Yackle (n.)- Lot's of power. I.e: That shot had a lot of yackle on it!

 

[spahnandsain]

L.o.f.t. problem: Lack of @&%#ing talent

 

[Cygnus]

Pier'd: when you hit a tree at pier park. So many trees a good day there is when you hit just a few

 

[bhuff]

The Billy Tree - first possible tree that can be hit off the tee pad.

-Billy Crump
