Does anyone else hate hockey slang?

[Jerzey Devil]

I slightly disagree, but will give you props for a Mitch reference

I was wondering if anyone was going to get that. Usually I’d write Mitch’s name with a dash next to a quote of his but it wasn’t word for word.

Clap back is a reference to shooting. Clapping back would be retribution for **** talk or action taken against ones self or someone you care about. JaRule made a song called clap back in the early 2000s

For clarification, a "clapper" is slang for a gun.

Rip a clapper from the point

This thread is beefing up my ignore list. LOL @ hating hockey slang, then you're just not a hockey guy!

i've always agreed with this, where hockey's "slang" is by far theeee worst out of all sports. it legit cringes me tf out so I stay away from using them. it's not just the slang, but the corny sentences they're used in as well.

idk if it's just me or the hockey culture, but i have no problem with basketball slang or soccer or any other sport. i feel more comfortable saying "he crossed his ass out!" or "you got megged!", than saying "his hands are filthy" or "you got dangled"

it was hard just typing that last sentence let alone saying it.

hockey the sport is just simply amazing, but i'll never agree that it's culture is good by any means. it has never moved forward and has been set back

i am the EXACT opposite of this post...everything you said you dont mind i think is BRUTAL....megged? really no issue with that?

Worst is guys who still talk like this as an adult in every day business. Been in meetings where guys use the hockey slang and call coworkers by hockey nicknames (Smitty, Jonesy, Matty). It's embarrassing. Grow up.

I don’t honestly because it sounds fine to me. It doesn’t sound corny or cheesy at all

This thread makes me miss Chuck Swirsky's cheesy but lovable catchphrases.

"Get out the salami and cheese, mama, this ball game is over!"
"Onions, baby, onions!"
