More appropriate implement name... [poll]

Students yell a lot of words in annoying ways. If I let that guide the way I use language I'd be significantly limiting myself.

In cases like this... I'm fine with limiting myself.

 

[DiscGolfCraig]

Can't you get you arrested for yeeting off?

 

[wolfhaley]

It's better being yeeted off than yeeted on.

 

[ChrisWoj]

Would you choose to have a good ol' yeet about town?

 

[BogeyNoMore]

Sorry to be a stick in the mud, but...

No. Stop.
Do not pass Go
Do not collect $200.

 

[foxdawg10]

I'm still wondering why this is a thing, lol.

 

[BogeyNoMore]

It's not a thing.

...There is absolutely no reason to call a "tee pad" anything but a "tee pad"....

Here is one: we don't use a tee.

Initial throw of a particular hole location?


Sounds much better lol (you're right though we don't technically "tee off")

I needed that for my mortgage payment.

ENTIRELY because I was bored.

lol, i figured. I'm glad some of these guys aren't easily teed off

Does one yell "YOLO!" whilst yeeting from the yeet pad? Will approach shots also be appropriately renamed? Putting? Shanks?

"My 1st yeet went deep into the schule. My 2nd yeet was fortunate enough to get out, and yeeted itself into the cage but it left me at circle's edge. My 3rd yeet hit center pole, but the basket yeeted me out. I yeeted in for a 4."

We definitely need more words than just 'Yeet'.

I've actually said You Only Live Once on many wooded and water holes,and it actually works! Yolo is for the birds though, lol.

Uh ... guess again:

802.04.A]
Play begins on each hole with the player throwing from within the hole's teeing area. A teeing area, or tee, is the area bounded by the edges of a tee pad, if provided. Otherwise, it is the area extending three meters perpendicularly behind the designated tee line. The tee line is the line at the front of the teeing area, or the line between the outside edges of two tee markers.

Uh ... guess again:

Nice, but I was going more meta; no real reason that word should be the one in the rules.

 

[ChrisWoj]

The yeeting area, or yeetus, is the area bounded....

 

[BogeyNoMore]

Go yeet yourself.

Uh ... analogy, based on historical precedent of ancestor sport:

tee: in golf, the place where you begin to hit the ball at each hole (= area of play), or the small stick that holds the ball up so that you can hit it easily – Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary

tee:
1A cleared space on a golf course, from which the ball is struck at the beginning of play for each hole. - Oxford English Dictionary

tee: (2) the area from which a golf ball is first hit to start play on a hole - Merriam-Webster Learner's Dictionary

Tee
A small peg, usually made of wood or plastic, placed in the ground upon which the golf ball may be placed prior to the first stroke on a hole. May also refer to the teeing ground. – Wikipedia]
