Common Disc Golf Phrases

What's your favorite disc golf phrase?

One of mine is "Nice Up!" because of its ambiguity. You can really mean it, when someone saves a par using a superb second shot. Or, it can be sarcastic, when someone's putt behaves like an upshot, instead of going in.

Others?

"In Jail" to mean stuck inside so many tree branches there seems to be no way out.

"Everyone In Here Is Your Friend" -   :)

Yours?

Greg Bagthrower-"Don't say NICE while my disc is in the air!"

[Destraayer]

"Earnie" - a hard birdie putt, a putt you have to earn, or opposite of a "gimmie".

"Worm Burner" - A drive that flies flat into the ground.

"Shoot the Moon" - A drive that has more height than distance.

"Playing like Sonny Bono" - When a player seems to be hitting a lot of trees

"Nice shootin, Tex!" - When a player makes a GOOD putt.

[Terry "the Pirate" Calhoun]

Nice phrases, guys, this is fun!

[Chris Fair]

for anyone who seems to be hitting a lot of trees my friends and I often say in a low goofy voice "(insert name) FRIEND OF TREES!" or if someone hits that one branch sticking out that shouldn't be hit we say something to the effect of "Its like yao ming" or shaq. Also whenever we hear someone grunt or make some noise during a drive we repeat the noise and say "Thats how you get the power. You make the noise." That though is mostly to make fun of other players on the course... kinda mean when I think about it.

One friend is notorious for not always getting his drive to turn over shouting "OH NO" and running off comically.

Another one being "sit sit sit SIT" or "CHAINS" if it looks like a shot that could make it.

My favorite is one that everyone does when they have an immediate groan after there throw because they could feel it go bad.

We call that one branch that stick out the ninja branch.

[Megan Hopkins]

I like "Thank you Treesus!" and "Arboreal Golf" the best.... but i think i say "Crap. Yanked it" and "Nice up" the most often.

[mike cormier]

I enjoy meow-ing at people that i now have enough arm to get where they're going and don't get it there

"Nice Run"
"Get it" when someone makes a run at the basket with thier shot
"get legs" someone shot comes up short but slides to the basket

" if it wasn't for that tree... it would have gone in !!!!!" is what i hear alot of times. Usually coming out of my own mouth.

[Jamie 'gr8rocshot' Ruane]

A timeless favorite
"Can your husband come out to play?"

Associated with High altitude shanks
"Serve a meal on that flight?"

Needs no explanation
"Nice up...Cindy Flopper"


Perfect for weak throws on short holes
"Wow....another throw like that and you'll be there"

[Sam Smith]

great post Jamie...hilarious

[Mike Horos]

We've always phrased that first one differently, "Does your husband play golf?", usually when you come up short.
