Unique golf phrases/words that you use...

Helicopter, aka a "ghetto bird" (makes sense if you're familiar with the rapper ice cube) - making a birdie you don't deserve due to hitting your drive OB, chunking your approach, etc.

Driver flop - skymarking your drive and therefore hitting it super high and short. I have a buddy that does this so often it has become his nickname.

Beermax - taking the max allowable score on a hole so you can give up and return to the cart to drink beer; i.e "I've already had to drop twice so I'm just going to take beermax on this hole".

Mazel Tov - when you're playing in a scramble and your buddy is feeling it on the greens so you put him in the anchor spot because he has "the eye of the jew" (it's a reference from the movie Beerfest). My buddy pulled this off once, claiming he had the eye of the jew, then drained a 30 foot slider for eagle. I drunkenly blurted out "Mazel Tov" and we all died laughing so it stuck.

Friends with benefits zone - when your playing partner is getting a stroke in a team game and hits a shot or lags a putt into "the friend's zone" getting your team a win even though you didn't contribute at all.

When I was young back in the 1980's and we would see someone slam dunk their approach shot directly into the hole we called it a Gorilla. Does anyone happen to remember that actually being called a Gorilla, or did we just make it up? I haven't thought about it in years until I just saw this thread.

The Gunch. “I slapped it out in the gunch on 15” Full Flaps. Used when the ball needs to get down. DIMB. Pronounced “Dim-bee” or “dim-beed”. Acronym for —— in my ——. Use your imagination. In a sentence - “I got totally DIMB’ed on 8 behind a tree.” Not PC and I can thank my HS golf coach for that one. For three putts... three wiggle, three jacked, three slapped, etc. Teen Sex. Usually used after you hit a putt way too hard/blew it way by the hole. “It went off in my hands like teen sex”Gatted it. Said after pounding a tee shot “gatted that one”. A Larry. Reference to someone who is not keeping pace, being unchill, acting petulant or thinks they know more about the game than they do “That guy was a such a Larry”. A Richard. Long-hand for another name. “That dude was being a Richard out there”. The Cack. Used interchangeably with gunch. Pellets. Range balls. Fat Beaver. Used when you got real deep with a high lofted wedge and took out a sizeable divot. “You really got down on that one - solid fat beaver”Nuked. Hit it hard. Raw Dogged. Usually when you hit a really good shot or hit a sick recovery shot. “You raw dogged that one, bro”. Taking the big meat deep. Long tee shot. Sucky sucky one more time. Typically said after someone pulls the string with a solid wedge shot and backs the ball up near the hole. Yo-yo Artist. Someone who’s on the birdie/bogey train or having an up and down round. T1tties and beer. When you hit a number of consistently good, solid golf shots. “You’re t1tties and beer today man - consistently good”The list could go on. I’ll probably get banned or offend someone but - the question was asked - and these are my answers.

And yes, the first time I dropped a sick recovery shot on the course with my wife playing with me and she said “you raw dogged that one!” meant it and said it in a conversational tone I did laugh out loud. She’s a keeper.

"HEEL, Cinnamon!!!!!" - For a wayward drive (Step Bros.)

 

Same guy who launches drives that necessitate the above phrase also tends to balloon the ball on occasion. I usually just say, "That one's in the Jetstream", or "Jetstream ball...."

I limit myself to using that particluar unique word to 25 times on the greens, times on the tee, and 50 times with approaches.

I developed these limits based on accurate record keeping of how many times I actually use this word during a round.

 

Glad to know at least other person shares my affinity for this word

I have a couple that i have heard over years.

When i was a kid i used to play with my grandfathers group, i called them the old geezers, one of them smacked a drive straight down the middle one day and turned around to the group and said that was a blondie, a good crack right down the middle. Took me several years to realize what he meant, but i use that one all the time now.

A couple years ago we were on a golf trip to pebble with some customers, bad golfers, we were playing spyglass and one of the guys blasts a shot right through the center of a healthy tree, it goes through without touching anything and he turns and says, trees are 90% air. Our caddie doesnt miss a beat and says so is a screen door, anytime someone says that around me now i always clap back with that line.

Dammit, I had another one but i forgot it before i could finish reading this thread...

When some one hits a good shot, " I say hey man nice shot, what a good shot man", after the song that Filter did.

When someone really goes after it on the tee box, " You gave that all your lovin, all your hugs and kisses too", ZZ Top song.

We needed a fourth so one of the guys brought a friend, Rodney. He likes to comment in just about every shot, then takes it back- because he's wrong.

"Nice drive!" - it hits a tree. "That's in!" The putt stops to break and misses... you get the idea. We've called it a Rodney!

 

In the same group, but not with Rodney, we tee it regularly at 8:00am and finish no more than four hours- and we sort of like that- not exactly fast but a good pace. Sometimes a group would jump in front of us on the first tee. Rodney would sometimes be in their group. Rodney is a slow player. When on the 8th hole and it's passed 10:00am, the guys I'm with would start yelling out, "IT'S GETTING DARK!!"
