Talking/Yelling at your discs

"Get through that!!"
"Sit sit sitttttt!!"
"Get off that tree!"

What are some things you like to yell at your disc while in flight?

"Get off that tree" is one of my favorites. :thmbup: I also find myself saying "Come back!" a lot. Sometimes my discs actually do seem to listen to me.
 
nestle.. nestle! ... get off it! .. etc. and plus just like to talk to mine in general .. ill apologize to them after i throw them in a tree or bang my aviar off the basket.. its not their fault
 
Occasionally:
Get stable!
C'mon baby, turn!


Infrequently:
That's it!
Hold that line...


More often it's:
SH**!
SONOFAB****!
MOTHERF******!
 
Allow me to reference once of my DGR sigs from back in the day... when this was relevant :)

Come Back!

Get down!

I then proceed to bust out some Travolta-esque dance moves, and all the ladies on the course follow me around like I'm the Old Spice guy.
 
"Where are you going?"
"Oh, dear god."
"Oh, that's bad." (I think I like this one the best because it just sounds so sad. Ha.)
"Be small." (For getting through gaps.)

Actually, I usually just say my own name in a real disappointed tone because I know it's my fault. But there's the typical....get there, get down, lay down, sit, turn, stop, skip, hit that, come back...
 
"Sit" which can naturally sound like something else when yelled.

"Where the f*&k are you going?!"

"F&^cking A, what the Hell?!"

or conversely on those rare good shots:

"I'll take it."


Regardless, I am a teacher, father of three, and a Cub Scout leader so I have to bottle up a lot of negativity during the week. (Un)fortunately this means that I often swear under my breath while playing no matter if it is a good shot or not. Those who know me normally take it stride, although they still like to still give me grief for swearing about my bag shots which sometimes are still better than theirs. During tournaments and leagues where I play with people I do not know, I make sure to give them a disclaimer so they know I am still having fun even if my language does not reflect it.

Most of the time I am very good about keeping my volume low because those outside of my group do not need to hear my swearing.
 
"Hit a House!" when the disc is straying off line into the woods.
That's from my ball golf days.
 
I actually jumped up and down and threw my hat down in disgust this weekend. It probably looked like a baseball manager arguing with an ump. Felt pretty silly right after. In my defense, there are way to many trees at Stumpy Creek. I guess the name should have tipped me off.
 
The only thing I yell at my disc is "GET IN"... and I don't throw great shots that often, so you won't hear me yell hardly ever
