Disc Golf Lingo...

[Toby Puttzinski]

I thought it'd be fun to start a thread for people to chime in with their favorite/least favorite/funny or new 'disc golf lingo' or quotes.

A few of my favorites are 'get skinny' and 'skip, roll, stop!' (disc whisperer commands).
I heard a funny story the other day: My friend, Phil, throws a shot that narrowly misses a tree, and someone in his group yells "get skinny!"... Phil stops, turns around and says, "Sure, heckle the fat guy." Phil is an excellent golfer and comedian.

My least favorite include "get off that(tree)", "at least you're in-bounds", and
"I'd prefer that you didn't."


How about some new ways to say 'nice shot'?
Other than good pull, bid, rip, chuck, or toss...

I like one I heard when I was playing at worlds...

A fella had thrown one towards the woods and he yelled after his disc "GET EYES!"

After any miraculous throw that penetrates through flora that had no business making it through is called "greazy."

After a really nice birdie finds its mark, my Friday group always yells "sausage!"

[Ol' Bob]

Nice.

[cefire]

Yup, "get greasy!" and "hit a house" are a few I've heard from the carolina gents

[jaggarrett]

When someone throws a great shot I like to call it "moist"

[olydiscgolf]

"Hit Something"

[olydiscgolf]

"long way wrong way"

[REDFIVE]

If I'm headed toward some trees or shrubbery my go to lately has been, "find a way".

[Iowa]

If my disc is going to fly way past a hole I will yell "DIE DOWN" or "DROP!"

[Rideout]

When my disc is released wrong, I often yell, "do something cool" or "you cheap whore".

[KG_MCDGC]

"That's what she said" I say it till it's well beyond annoying, sorry!


When thrown too low, saying "that was too high." And when thrown too high, saying "that was too low." Never gets old.

[NWDiscer]

"find a window"

[motherhucker]

"Course correction" - when a disc is heading the wrong direction, hits a tree and goes in the right direction.

See also "Tree Love"

[mazza]

as soon as some one show any temperment...its called "pullin a mazza"

also theres the "duck or bleed" when u shank one.

or when u hit a tree that was no where near ur line or u didn't even see..."OMFG...i swear that tree jumped in the way"

[DiscnRN]

(The skinny branch that you can't see until it slaps your disc down or deflects your shot) "LeBron !"

[Snooskie Longhorn]

Toby once told me "I've seen better throws on couches" and "I've seen better arms on chairs" when I weak-armed my shots.

I've used the following:

"Not enough postage on that one"

"I've seen more mustard on a hot dog"

"You couldn't flip a burger"

"Next time take your disc out of the bag before you throw"

"Tank Slapper U.S.A." to the tune of "Sleep Country U.S.A", a reference to your putt coming in low and hitting the side of the cage

...and the Frank Lewis special, "You tried to throw in the towell...and missed!"

Hence Team Skinny

"That all I'm trying to say." pretending we just had a discussion about a nearly impossible alternate route that I just took on purpose to show you how easy it is, ricochets off trees an all
"I really need to practice those." after a missed straddle putt
"Killed it" unintentional turnovers
"That worked better in my head." every roller I've ever thrown
"I f*&%$*& hate this game!" drives that slip out early and head straight for OB, water, or the abyss

and my personal favorite the primal scream... and I get a lot of opportunities to use it.

god I love this game...

Shot from the nasty crap into more of it: "Back to schule special."
