What move names do you hate?

I don't like Paradox moves with their own names. Like Voodoo... it should be just Paradox Merlin or whatever...

I know this topic has been dormant for the last 2 months, but along with the pixie and fairy comments, I've always thought bubba was kinda a crappy name. You have atomic, nuclear, quantum, ...bubba? Whenever I hear the word 'bubba' i think of a large black man in prison who rapes other dudes (im not racist, seriously

).

Org. Posted by EriksonNJ: You think red wetter is nasty? It was named by red husted and is a shooting eggbeater - blurry eggbeater is bed wetter - hence red wetter. I don't find that offensive or gross at all. Confused

When ever I hear the name Red Wetter I think of some poor girl in her bed covered in her own menstruation-blood.
This thought comes natural since the move is so a long the lines of Bed Wetter (guy, pissing on himself in bed) and Wet Dream (guy coming on himself in bed).
If people get offended by Bed Wetter, Wet Dream or Flaming Tard, but not by Red Wetter, they lack fantasy.

-- But with Bubba, you get to sound tough - Bubba-Beater. It's a lot better than being a pussy beating up Fairys (not that there is a Fairy-Beater (anymore...

)) or Eggs.[/b]

Actually the set is called 'hopping' for the record. I never liked the word bubba either.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

That was great

My gf hates the name smear, good thing I dont do pixie moves.

Edit:

The name whirlygig....

WTF

Blury whirl - cool
Tomahawk - cool
PS whirl - cool enough

But WHIRLYGIG! I was really disapointed when I found out this is the name for such a difficult move.
How about:
Hatchet (this is already taken?)

Bubba Zanetti has it on good authority, she is sent by the Bronze, full of treachery. The Bronze take our pride.

I think Hatchet is diving whirl, isn't it?

whirlygig is cool, the end

Word, James

I think it's cool when ridiculously (sp?) hard tricks have silly names. Just like Whirlygig and Superdeeduperfly.

I like the name 69, because it fits the move. But the name 84 or whatever is crap becuase it has nothing to do with the move... unless I'm stupid and don't see the connection. I think that wigglewalk would be more fitting, and less confusing... BTW who has hit a good clean wiggle set? Everytime I try it looks slurred, even if I get both dexes, they both look somehow wrong.

Yves Kreil named it 84 [edit: "Eighty Four", apparently..] due to the 84-"team" (not sure what to call it

) he is part of. He could have named it Kreilwalk, would that have been more soothing? And do you, due to the name, constantly confuse Pixie Fairy Butterfly with Reverse Swirling Paradox Miraging Whirling Same Inside?

I will never be able to remember whether 84 is pixie fairy butterfly or fairy pixie butterfly.

Then plant between them.

I've footed it that way, but it's literally a 1 in 200 attempts thing.

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 09 May 2005 20:26

Me neither.

Also, I think it's 84 because of their club name, which is 84 because they were all born in '84.
And, yeah, diving whirl is hatchet.

Oh yeah, and about the cleanliness of "wiggle", or whatever, I had big issues with this too. But after having seen the videos for wigglewalk (and the variations...you know what I mean anyway...) and watching videos of moves like Sebastien's chainsaw massacre (pdx miraging symp eggbeater, right?) over again, I realize that the pdx miraging and the final legover is the same style of dex as "wiggle", it's just that "wiggle" doesn't have the extra dex between the same-leg dexes. The same goes for Jorden's quantum-same-atomic same mirage move. Did that make sense? It either helps you understand "wiggle" better, or makes you question the cleanliness of other moves...

I invented the SET anssi pansty so keep rolling your eyes until they fall out of your head.

You invented stepping sets? Wow James I didn't know you'd been playing for so long! Nice work.

Anz · Post by **Anz** » 10 May 2005 07:37

Yeah, I may talk with Kevin a bit too much...
There wasn't any sarcasm. So I don't see why I should be rolling my eyes for so long.

I really think that Whirlygig has a cool name.
