"Paste" change proposal

Post by Vraidave » 26 May 2014 07:43

Why isn't the trick Paste (Pixie Pickup) called Pixup instead? Seriously guys? You passed up on that piece of footbag nomenclature gold? It's so perfect.

I'm thinking I'll just start calling it Pixup and hope I'm popular enough for it to catch on.

Who's with me?

Fight the footbag power!

Hoorah!

Other proposals:
Smog (Pixie Mixer): Pixer
Flog (Fairy Mixer): Fixer

Gee I certainly am good at this footbag name stuff. I should quit my day job.

Smog is Pixie DLO, Pixie Mixer is Pigbeater

No one in Europe uses 'Mixer', but I'm quite sure it is just another name for Eggbeater. DLO does not resemble a mixer in any way to me so it would make sense.

There's many more missed opportunities and badly named tricks, people have tried to change it, but unsuccessfully. Of the top of my head:

Legover -> Switch
Butterfly -> Down
Pixie -> Open
Fairy -> Shut

One that bugs me is Chainsaw Massacre, which I believe is Illusioning Flail, which is basically reverse Merlin. It should be called Morgana (la Fey).
