Worst Fake Terminology?

[Plankeye]

The "Get Sneaky" comment is often heard a lot in NC.

Back when I got started a couple local golfers would say "get red" when it needed a disc to fade or "get white" for when it needed to turn.

I have used some of the following..

Tree-nied
Tree-jected
Tree-direction
Ninja Tree - this is the tree that your disc hits that you didn't see...usually it is a smaller tree that is hiding behind a larger tree

Also if someone throws a drive and it is too low i ask the guy if he needs some viagra to get it up...but i only do this to friends and only 1 time...more than once and it gets old.

When floks refer to stable as straight :/

technically a stable disc is a straight flier, but this has already be discussed in numerous other threads.

Technically a stable disc is one that does not turn right, but just because a disc does not turn does not mean it flies straight. This is the biggest mis-conception in all of disc golf.

I laugh at people who claim they "got niced". They get furious.

I do too except in one situation. A friend of mine is very good at being a terrible judge of throw quality. Every time I throw and immediately know that it won't be a good shot (you know those shots), he can be counted on for a genuine "nice shot dude!". He means no harm, but when you're frustrated from throwing a stinker and a guy insists on complimenting said stinker about 3 seconds before it plows into a tree/the ground/water it can get a bit annoying.

This seems fair to me. Pushing superstitious nonsense off on everyone else around you, however, is not.

I think I'm going to start telling the people who get upset at being 'niced' that I think the word 'basket' makes all of my discs slippery, therefore they can't use it the rest of the round.

Had one guy in a tourney tell me that I needed to learn a "Faaayyngur PawP" shot (finger pop)...it took me 5 minutes to figure out that he meant a forehand approach shot.

Oh...and I forgot to mention that he assumed I didn't know this shot because I'd never heard that term for it. :facepalm:

we've got a guy in town that says things like "10% overhauser"

Talking to some TD's that were running a tourney in Mobile last week but were from Texas. They had no idea what a finger pop was. Said it sounded like something you shouldn't be talking about with children around

I personally dislike the term and simply say forehand.

The thing I hear a lot is "I hit the ghost tree" meaning they hit the tree that can't be seen from where the thrower is.

Buddy of mine throws a great man-hyzer. RH anny flick.

When you kick off a tree and it helps you its tree-mendous.

 

[saltybigjim]

I always yell 'get down' because I over throw a lot of holes by a few feet.

We definitely have 'you niced me' and people telling their discs to 'flex'. Anytime a player lays up its 'another one of those and you'll be there', we have 'local routes' and there has been an influx of people saying 'InnInnova' lately. Any hole that goes to the right is a 'lefty hole' but the cake goes to one of our local players who always asks his groups in tournaments....

'don't talk to my disc while its in the air, please'

One of our local courses had a sign right out front, that said disk golf for the first 10 years of it's existence.

My old home course, Fritz Park, which has been around since 1984 has always had a city parks installed sign describing the area as "Disk Golf". Makes me laugh when I see it every time I go back there.

It's not terminology, but it pisses me off when people spell disc with a k, as in, disk.

Both spellings are correct.

I may or may not have named our discs...; For example, we have a blue boss, his name is Bruce and a red/white/blue tie dye Avenger SS, and he is Steve, as well as a yellow Roc, who is Big Bird. Husband's friends poke him about it a little bit. I've also been in the habit of yelling at mine when the roll to SIT! STAY! Because I'm a dork. Other than that I haven't heard anything odd around here.

I hear scoobie... It kinda bothers me. It's never the same throw either....

When playing with my friends, I use treenied, and tree-love quite a bit. We also use our fancy Texan lingo... but that's to be expected. Haha

 

[NOStheBOSS]

I always liked "Get greasy" or VonDrehle's "Get Sneaky" when you want your disc to get through some trees or other obstacles.

because of a story my friends have told, I yell "FIGHT!!!" when a disc is headed for tree branches.

May I ask what course that was? Plamann would be my guess. Haha

That is frickin' hilarious.

 

[thiswonisloaded]

A friend threw an approach shot that had a massive amount of OAT and then proceeded to say "Now that's what I call a........Floppy Disc."

I don't know why but I found it hilarious and is still my favorite thing I've heard on a course
