DG Vocab List - Fun or Catchy Terms

[captain jack]

Groovicide: Grew-vih-side
When you hate a disc so much you drop it in the middle of a crowded freeway.

 

[esdubya]

Could someone please help me out, I just read all 29 pages of this thread and could not find this term. A few years ago I played with St. Louis area golfer, she introduced me to the FISO term which is great.

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.

[bergdawg]

Sonny Bono. A drive thrown directly into a tree, stops dead.

That is awesome.

Grip Lock or Grip Locked - When you hold onto your disc too long on a throw. (heard this one today. pretty true term for many of us.)

A term I've been using for a grip locked shot is "Danny DeVito." For example, "You Danny DeVito'd it."

Comes from the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest when Jack Nicholson's character is urging DeVito's character to pass him the basket ball and then DeVito throws the ball in the wrong direction and into the fence.

A Van Dyke?

 

[Doupie620]

Tree Love when it bounces off a tree to your advantage.

Tree Hate otherwise...also known as The Doupie Special.

Blind Chicken - going after a disc in dense brush but hesitant to do so.

 

[esdubya]

A Van Dyke?

Possibly yes, could be right, although not the "eureka" moment I was hoping for.. Anyone from Missouri care to confirm this?

 

[Disc Golf Live]

Alright, anyone know the term commonly used for a group of disc golfers?

[Disc Golf Live]

A cough, of course.

"The hot route," hitting that tiny a$$ gap between a hundred little branches and not hitting a single one and your disc ends up right in the middle of the fairway or close to the basket----" I can't believe you made it through the hot route on that tee shot?"

"UFO'd," when you throw your disc from either the tee pad or on a second shot...you see the line it took but can't find it anywhere...."Man, I can't find my disc....it was UFO'd!" --meaning it was beamed up by aliens and never to be seen again.

"Biff'd," when you unintentionally/inadvertently throw your disc into the sh!t....in reference to Back to the Future when Biff drives his car into the manure truck.."I can't believe I Biff'd that drive to the right/left."

"Scavenger," the guy who you run into on the course who never has smokes but bums all the time without ever repaying the favor. "Oh damn, here's the scavenger again....hide your provisions!"

I'll think of some more of our local lingo in a bit....at work..

 

[FredVegasDGC]

getting Pimped or Worked - when you throw a sweet shot exactly where you want how you wanted to and you standing on he tee admiring your throw and a small unseen obstacle destroys the shot kicking it to an impossible lie or OB.

Worked is also a term used when a player in your group starts playing head games trying to put others off their game.

[Jukeshoe]

Lucksack, adj.: a good result characterized by a low amount of skill and a high degree of luckiness.

"Iron Leaf" has quickly become a classic.

The worst is referencing to that video and then quickly realizing no one else has seen it.
