Disc Golf Lingo...

[D-Walk]

On of my personal favorites is the White Castle. For those sliders that float sideways as they go.

when you flip a disc bad,

"Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you......"

sung to the tune of "Baby come back", most of you youngsters won't get this one so:

Hitting tree after tree: "Linkin' Logs"

[Scott]

Played with a guy today that kept saying (after a particularly mediocre throw), "I'll take it". I felt like saying, "Of course you'll take it - it's your lie!"

[Iowa]

When I hit a tree I say "well ya see I was trying to play off the tree.....".

[motherhucker]

Hitting tree after tree: "Linkin' Logs"

Hitting two or more trees on the same drive: Pinball or Bitch Slap

Hitting the same tree on a successive throw: Time to use a different disc.

["Over the Hill" Bob]

After I make a bad throw and the next guy has a great throw........"Yep, that's what I MEANT to do."

After hearing today about all the putts hitting dead center and bouncing out at Hornings Hideout........."I got Horninged."

The basket on #17 at Seatac is guarded by two apple trees, one which grows directly over the top, from about 8' to 20'.
Clearing the low hanging branches can be a challenge from a distance, but since there isnt much in the way of leaves, it is possible to loft a shot into the top of the branches, and watch it flip and flop and fall down between them, sometimes into the basket.

I didnt make up the term, but its my favorite, this type of shot is called
"Plinko"

I think I started saying 'Do something cool" in similar situations. I thought I was the only one!

I once heard someone (forgot who) say this for shots that flipped so bad that they became accidental cut rollers, dodged OB, and came back to the fairway, "Well that was so bad it was good again!"

My dad is a ball golfer and I have carried over much of his lingo. When you throw an approach way too hard and your disc is sailing past the basket: "Full flaps!". Or if you fear rolling away down a hill: "Grow teeth!"

Also from my dad, for some reason when he "pures his line" or drives down the center of the fairway, he says, "I hit it straight down the cock." I don't exactly get it, but I find it hilarious.

Of course there is a general shout if you mess up in any way. Just yell, "Nikko!" and slap your hands in disappointment.

As far as insults go, if someone left a putt short, you can ask them if their skirt flew up in their face before taking the putt. The more genuinely consoling you appear to be, the funnier it is.

Guy steps onto tee pad, a little overexcited, and grip-locks his drive into one of the closest trees it could have possibly hit... it's one of the most embarassing things that can happen to a golfer: "premature tree-jaculation."

[Joshua Olmsted]

I like singing, "I'm Sailing Awayyyyy" when discs are headed into the nasty stuff, I also like the word Shule, I try to find ordinary everday uses for it.

[Toby Puttzinski]

Male chauvinistic statements:
Princess Lay-up... Mrs. Dash.... does your husband play disc golf?(to a man)... next time throw your purse at it.... you really 'Sally-ed' that one.

Quote borrowed from the movie 'Kids'... "I have no legs... I have no legs... I have no legs."

It's common for top pro ball golfers to say "nice ball" when someone hits a good drive... so are the top pro dg'ers going to start saying "nice disc" all of the time?

When I first started dg, many of the locals at North Park(tightly wooded course) seemed to actually believe that saying "nice" while their disc was in flight would 'magically' make the disc hit a tree... some guys would actually get really pissed off at someone for saying "nice", truly convincing themselves that their disc was jinxed into hitting the ninja branch that reached out and thwarted their birdie effort.
-- I have to admit though, I still break out a well timed 'nice' at NP once in a while, and boy does it seem to really work wonders... "nice... NICE!!... thwack.. ting!!"

I like to say "clean living" when someone gets a lucky break... or the proverbial "that guy must have a horseshoe up his ass."

I have a friend who likes to chime in on errant throws to the tune of "not the way I would have played it" and I use one when you seem to hit every tree on any particular hole "nice job in using the whole course"

I've always called this getting Horned.

[General Scales]

Any ace run that sticks gets a "You Cubby'd that one" (for Cubbys ridiculous amount of aces)
Any tree smash off a drive or approach is an "Enemy of Greenpeace."
Any putt that rings and falls out is "Revenge of the links!" (usually screamed in a highlander announcer style voice)

Hehe, I've seen guys on other message boards differentiate between their "aces" and their "Cubbies". If it goes in on the first throw, it's an ace, if it takes you two or three (or ten) tries, it's a Cubby.

[runnaman]

When I know I my throw is going to go past the the basket I say "Die!"
I tell my putter it sucks when I shank a putt.
After turning over a drive I'll tell it to "Get stable"

I just realized that I talk to my discs a lot

That reminded me that when a shot slips out way too soon and is headed for some wrong basket, I say, "premature edisculation."
