DawgSports Reader Lexicon: You asked for it, you got it.

PrintI've been patiently procrastinating and waiting for someone else to satisfy the multiple requests we've seen for a "newcomer's guide to DawgSports Lexicon(TM)"
Since no one else has stepped up to the challenge, though (and since I was apparently "volunteered" for the project), I humbly offer my services as a catalyst for starting the Lexicon discussion. I have included the words and phrases I can think of below (in no particular order). Your input is appreciated!
- DGD - Damn Good Dawg, which is considered acceptable profanity on this site due to its historical usage in Bulldog Nation. When Uga I was eulogized in Sanford Stadium prior to the introduction of Uga II, and the student section spontaneously broke out into the aforementioned cheer. In fact, while other Uga's have multiple-sentence epitaphs written on their tombstones, Uga I only has three words: "Damn Good Dawg."
- DTD - DaveTheDawg, a regular commenter who is definitely a DGD, but is not to be confused with the more generic "DGD" remark. He is also a world-renowned meteorologist, but keeps getting squeezed out of the Atlanta market by Florida Gator alum Glen Burns.
- Butter - DTD's sustenance of choice when jacked up and/or happy.
- I hate Auburn - Kyle's catchphrase. He hates Auburn. He would like us to know this.
- I hate Florida - Vineyarddawg's catchphrase. He hates Florida with the fire of a thousand suns being fueled by the fire of an additional thousand suns. He would also like us to know this.
- Totally Surprised - Tankertoad's catchphrase. He is, apparently, caught completely off-guard by things that should have been readily apparent. For example, take the following exchange:
Bobby Petrino: I have decided to leave the University of Arkansas to coach the (insert the name of any team here).
Tankertoad: Totally Surprised.
Les Miles: Woeojuwejhdjwe.
Tankertoad: Totally Surprised. - Sacrifice a goat (at the Arch or otherwise) - When you hit a schneid like the collective Georgia Bulldogs athletics teams have recently endured, your fans get desperate. We decided that the best way to turn around the Bulldogs' fortunes was to roast a goat. And, despite evidence to the contrary, we will continue to believe this. (It's a fact!)
- It's a fact! - Once upon a time, a wayward Ohio State Buckeye fan wandered into a DawgSports threaad. During this time of southerner/midwesterner interaction, said
poisonous nutBuckeye claimed, repeatedly and with increased emphasis (and ignorance of counter arguments), that Ohio State had the best out-of-conference schedule in the country not just that season, but every season. He finished more than one of his comments with the phrase, "It's a fact!" and passed into DawgSports lore. - Green notebook - As you might be aware, there are some people in the Bulldog Nation who, let's say, take issue with the way Mike Bobo calls plays for the Georgia offense. (Much in the same way, for example, that Dwight Eisenhower took issue with the way the Nazis were taking over Europe.) (And, there we go, this post has already been Godwin'ed, and by the author himself.) In reference to their displeasure, Bobo's detractors frequently say that when he calls a play that spectacularly didn't work, it came "from the green notebook." This is a reference to the movie The Waterboy, in which stupid plays were written down in a green notebook.
- Petrino Math - This method of calculation is named after
LouisvilleAuburnAtlantaArkansas head coach Bobby Petrino. To use Petrino Math, you first have to be trailing your opponent (much like Bobby Petrino's teams usually are). Then, you calculate how many field goals and/or safeties it will take to either tie or win the game, because lord knows you won't be scoring any touchdowns. This is known as Petrino Math.
For example, if Arkansas is losing to LSU by 14 points, one does not say that the Hogs are losing by 2 Touchdowns. Instead, you say that using Petrino Math, the Hogs are down by 4 field goals and 1 safety, and that they only need 1 additional safety beyond that to win the game. So, they're actually only 6 possessions away from winning. - GATA - Get After Their Ass... or, if you prefer a more child-friendly version, Get After Them Aggressively. This phrase was first introduced at Georgia by the legendary Erk Russell, who, the legend goes, saw a Techie sporting a "G.T.A.A." shirt (Georgia Tech Athletic Association) and decided to rearrange the letters in a typical Erk-like unique fashion. This is also the phrase to which Mark Richt is referring when he says in interviews, "We weren't really 'getting after it' today," or "We're really going to have to 'get after it' this week."
- KTMFD - Knock That Mother F***** Down. A more modern version of the GATA phrase, created in response to a (real or imagined) phrase uttered by Coach Todd Grantham in exhortation to his players.
- Thread-altering mojo - Tankertoad's seemingly single-handed ability to either cause a Georgia Bulldogs athletics team to either win or lose a game they had previously been either losing or winning (respectively) just by showing up and commenting in a live in-game thread.
- How did we lose to (insert team name here)? - See UGA vs. Colorado (football), 2010.
- SOS - Synergy of Suck. See previous reference, along with "UGA Football, 2010 season."
- Shit ____, Get It Together - Ok, let's just go ahead and admit that many, if not most, of these lexicon entries are going to be not entirely family-friendly. A picture is worth a thousand words, and this picture is what ignited the aforementioned phrase.
- Loyalty - Sorry, I could not find this word anywhere in the college football lexicon anymore.
- FYG - The "YG" part stands for "Your Grandmother," and yes, the "F" stands for "that F word." I'll just link to Kyle's explanation on that one (it's in the 3rd paragraph from the bottom).
- "Red Panties" - Anyone who utters this phrase is subject to immediate bannination. What is bannination? It's when Kyle, MaconDawg, or podunkdawg press this button so fast that they strain a muscle.
Well, that's all I've got at this point. What else should we add?

Hmmm, how 'bout that?
I see that you’re right, but going back and reading those comments (and that thread) is a painful lesson in 20/20 hindsight. Not only did I call the S&C merely “suspect” but I appeared to hold some optimism for the rest of the season based on silly notions like “full contact practices.” I maintain that, based on history, we should be in a BCS bowl next year (’02, ’05, ’08, ’11??)

This could get really interesting as it evolves…a sort of “WikiDawgLeaks” or something. Don’t forget to include “Cocktail Thursday,” which has become one of the more important days of the week given the events of this past season.
Oh, and I’m not quite world-reknowned…except maybe to the ‘Blue Hairs’ at Century Village in Aventura. I usually do a little hurricane season briefing in-person every June. . .but my mini stand-up routine kills ‘em every time. (No, seriously…these folks are old and they generally have a crash cart waiting in the wings). Here’s one that brings down the house and raises blood pressure to dangerous levels:
It’s 4 A.M. and a married couple are in bed, sleeping. Suddenly, the phone rings and the husband answers:
“How should I know? Call the damn Weather Service!” then slams down the phone.
Wife asks, “Who was it, dear?”
Husband says, “Some damn fool wanting to know if the coast was clear.”
Ah…weather humor. I’ll be here all week. Try the Veal.

More possible entries:
Excessivus, God of Football. He must be appeased or we’re doomed. PWG (Playing While Georgia). This is a common penalty we receive in games when the refs make a questionable call or fail to specify a call. First and bomb. Bobo’s favorite first down call is often a long ball that falls incomplete. Home cookin’. That probably has to do with brownies since it certainly doesn’t have to do with officials. GPOOE. Tim Tebow has been referred to as the Greatest Player Of Our Era, and this is sometimes mockingly used to describe Tebow’s media worship. I’m sure there are more; maybe I’ll think of more later.
by Cherokee's Grip on Jan 21, 2011 10:15 PM EST reply actions
I forgot about Excessivus
and a minor clarification if I may: Excessivus is a god of many things, but primarily in the negative sense. See: A.J. Green/LSU/Marc Curles…phantom excessive celebrations.
It would seem Excessivus was largely absent this season. Not much to “excessively” celebrate.

I couldn’t remember how we specifically defined Excessivus. I thought about adding Marc Curles/Penn Wagers, but didn’t know exactly how to define them.

Surely there should be something about scooters and/or emerging from an alley, recognizing the ‘criminal element’ among our guys.
"It'll only be reviewed because the guys up in the booth want to watch it a few times too." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf16_mw0nxs
I agree 100 per cent about "emerging from an alley."
That’s become our shorthand for “player arrest for, at worst, immature irresponsibility, and more likely for something I can’t believe is a crime.”
Go 'Dawgs!
Yeah, I came to add first and bomb. Good one.
How about a reference to CT up the middle? Bobo needs a lexicon dedicated solely to his contributions…

As for "Cocktail Thursday"
it should definitely be encapsulated in its own thread, or book. Said thread or book should have a warning label. Those Justin Times are my Ike Turner of alcohol…..
Am I imagining things when I can't help but think the 1st down bombs were sometimes called First and Bobo?
Or am I just mixing that with my LSU friend’s Third and Chavis complaints?
I'm not sure,
although I know we sometimes use “third and Willie” to express our frustration at those third and long situations in which our defense inevitably folds.
by Cherokee's Grip on Jan 22, 2011 2:11 AM EST up reply actions
"Third and Willie" is a classic
The true “Third and Willie” involves a completely uncovered receiver hauling in a pass for 15+ yards down the middle of the field on third and long. See, e.g., Auburn 2005. /stillsobitter
If we don’t sign Ray Drew, I’m afraid we might have to add an entry for “Third and Grantham,” which involves a first down on a draw play on third and long.
I would add "anyone who doesn't wholeheartedly and vocally agree with someone that is bashing Richt."

This is excellent - thanks for this
I have been coming here for the past two seasons now, absolutely love the board and the community here. My living in Norway for almost three years sent me searching for an online source for the Dawgs and I certainly get my fix here. I have always wanted some insight as to what some of the meanings and references were so – I thank you
That's definitely one of the reasons the lexicon was necessary.
I’m glad we (read: vineyarddawg and the subsequent commenters) could help!
Go 'Dawgs!
I hereby nominate..
the “BMSD,” more properly the Bret Millican Sprint Draw, for adpotion into the Lexicon. Back when I was a freshman in Athens, Donnan often set up the play-action by running Millican on a draw. According to recollection (admittedly a slippery thing during life in Athens, but the pain from bad play calls remains!), these draw plays netted 1.5 to 2.5 yards. Maximum.
The interesting thing about the BDSM was this: since the play never netted any substantial yards, teams needed not fear it. Moreover, since teams didn’t fear it, it couldn’t set up the play-action. As a result, it was a play that offered neither tactical nor strategic advantange. Everyone knew we’d have to pass on 3rd and 7. Yet the BMSD continuted to be called.
Current Dawg fans will recognize the same concept throughout our past season. For example, during the MSU game: anyone see a run blitz? Send that 5’7" kid up the middle! Same thought against GT. Plays that had no apparent tactical or strategic value preceded a play-action from under center on 3rd & 10.
As I watched these games, I was taken back to 2000. I suggest “BMSD” as the universal term for every play call we know is doomed, but gets called anyways. Every play where you and your buddies say “if they try to run it off tackle when they have 9 in the box …”, and we run it off tackle. Every time you see a 6-man blitz and we send 4 receivers on crossing or go routes with a running back blocking a DE. Those plays. Whenever you slam your head against the wall after a play, it was a BMSD.
And I’d like to nominate the BMSD for the Lexicon for one simple reason: if you switch the M and D, the acronym adequately expresses what it feels like to see such senseless plays called by your own team & often on national television.
Humbly submitted this 22nd of January, 2011.
*One caveat: this post is NOT intended to disparage Brett Millican, who worked hard and left it on the field every Saturday. It’s simply an attempt to give a name to a great evil in the hope that it will be resisted!

I like your thinking, Krautdawg.
If we’re going to go back to head-scratching oft-repeated Jim Donnan-era play calls, I’d prefer to call it the “non-Champ Bailey tunnel screen” (a/k/a NCBTS, which never worked after Champ Bailey left), but the principle remains the same.
Go 'Dawgs!
how 'bout

How about this for Petrino math...
It takes approximately “4” offensive plays to travel approximately “70” yards in under “1” minute to defeat Georgia “between the hedges.”
Yep, I like this “Petrino math.”

Thanks, Roothog2!
We always appreciate you coming around, like you did after Georgia beat Arkansas in 2009, or after Georgia beat Arkansas in 2005, or after Georgia beat Arkansas in 2004, or after Georgia beat Arkansas in 2002, or after Georgia beat Arkansas in 2001, or after Georgia beat Arkansas in 2000.
Wait, hold on . . . you mean you weren’t here at all during Georgia’s six-game winning streak over Arkansas, and you only showed up to talk trash after the Razorbacks beat the Bulldogs for the first time in 17 years, in a game that required a ten-win Arkansas team to put together a touchdown drive in the final minute to beat a team that finished with a losing record after a bonehead call by our offensive coordinator robbed us of the golden opportunity to kick the game-winning field goal?
Well that pretty much makes you a braying jackass, doesn’t it, Roothog2? Go back to the Natural State, where life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

Unfortunately,
The Dawgs didn’t exactly “represent” the SEC in the Liberty either.
I think a loss to a top-10 Ohio State team is a little more respectable than a loss to Conference USA any day.
If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour.....you're gonna see some serious s***.
You're wrong, Roothog2.
Oh, so painfully wrong. In fact, for that comment alone, Arkansas should be expelled from the SEC.
Losing to the C-USA champion is embarrassing for Georgia, and prevents us from talking trash about the upcoming 2011 season. Losing to Ohio State is embarrassing for the entire SEC, and prevents the whole conference from looking down our noses at The University of Ohio State for at least 12 months.
There’s a big difference in the quality of our respective losses.

I concur. Xinyue has got to be included. In what context, I’m not sure…

THAT WAS AWESOME
it is very much an “inside joke” , but you nailed it.

Does Xinshag also accept the Paypals?
Maybe this could be the entry for Xinyue since it sums him/her/it up perfectly. Some things cannot be explained with mere definitions.

Just thought it was funny....
that you chose to criticize Petrino’s offense, when it finished 2nd overall, and 1st in passing in the conference this year.
Of course, I realize where all the animosity comes from when referring to Bobby P.
But I thought by now, surely all the Atlanta folks would be over it. Everything seemed to work out great for them. Got Matty Ice and the NFC’s best regular season record.
If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour.....you're gonna see some serious s***.
As the creator of Petrino Math....
I can tell you that it didn’t arise out of any animosity (though I don’t partcularly like the guy). Several of us were watching an Arkansas game and Petrino went for a 2 pt conversion in a situation which didn’t call for it. Tankertoad asked why he would go for two there, pointing out that Arkansas would still be 2 scores behind even with the 2 pt conversion. I made a joke: saying that he was using Petrino Math and pointing out that now 2 TD’s and a safety would put them in the lead. The joke was reinforced by the fact that Arkansas later got a safety and went on to win the game (PETRINO MATH!!!!).
It was a commentary on the decision and outcome of the game. It could have just as easily been Miles Math, Kiffin Math, etc… really any coach that might go for two in an unconventional 2 pt conversion situation. Now anytime a coach does so, it’s Petrino Math.
If I wanted to actually dig at Arkansas, I would have used the standard barb: “Petrino will be coaching Montana St. by the 3rd Quarter”

Much obliged, RedCrake.
Roothog2 appeared to be aiming to break Bravesfan’s site record for most consecutive comments demonstrating that he didn’t get what everyone else was discussing.
Go 'Dawgs!
If I were to understand what you were talking about...
… would that make Bravesfan not a troll?

I think that was the second round of Petrino Math in the same game - which is what perpetuated it.
The first time – they were down by 21 and he kicked a FG, and then in the interview said “We got them to within 18 so we can win this” and I said – “Uh, isnt 18 still 3 TDs”? And that is when you through in the 2 FGs + 2 Safeties = Petrino Math. (or something pretty close to that.)
It was part also of many coaches this year (including ours) kicking FGs or going for 2 at odd times when that decision didnt reflect the overall score and how to come back to win.

Ahh yes....
Double Petrino Math! What does it mean?!?!?!?!?

Here's another one...

-Erk Russell
That's the mean version. (I'm not judging, I'm just saying.)
The kinder, gentler term (which MaconDawg coined) is “The Armani Bear.” Good catch.
Along similar lines, is “Corch Urban Meyers” now passe?
Go 'Dawgs!
I'm sure Corrine Brown will come up with a suitably mispronounced name for Larry.

"Larry."
Nice. Subtle dig at Will’s middle name, with an allusion to Mike Piazza’s jab at Chipper Jones thrown in for good measure. Well played.
Go 'Dawgs!
As long as he's still on their campus...
it’ll never be passe.

Kyle's post to the East Alabama Men's College
here reminded me of one and introduced another:
NATS = North Avenue Trade School = Georgia Tech. Other synonymns: GIT
EAMC = East Alabama Men’s College = Auburn
New entry:
To his wife, he’s “honey.” In the past, we’ve known him as “Coach Richt”, “Coach Mark Richt” and even “CMR.”
To me, he is now and shall always be a God-Fearing Dude. It’s biblical and hip. It’s Biblically Hip.

In a related item, . . .
. . . should the lexicon also include “Evil Richt (a/k/a Dark Richt),” “Hip Richt,” “Righteously Indignant Richt,” “The Ginger Assassin,” and “The Movement,” all of which have appeared here?
While we’re at it, should we include the phrase “if you expect the worst, your only options are to be proven correct or pleasantly surprised”? If the answer to that question is yes, should “Manic Kyle” and “Depressive Kyle” also be included?
Go 'Dawgs!
Yes and no
The Ginger Assassin has moved on to gingerer pastures. The rest are still topical (for at least one more season).
Manic and Depressive Kyle COULD be entries, but they’ll show up to explain themselves soon enough (I’m thinking around 15 August…)

While we're at it, . . .
. . . perhaps “First snap, last snap, every snap” deserves a mention, as well? (That one was MaconDawg’s.)
Go 'Dawgs!
Well, the phrase was successful...
…we just weren’t specific enough with it. We should have prefaced it with things like “Please don’t suck”, “Play hard”, or “Don’t make us cry”.

Must apologize to Kyle
Since joining the neighborhood I have been unknowingly and very liberally using your catchphrase. You see I hate Auburn and at times I simply must share this wonderful feeling. Henceforth I will certainly give you credit for this catchphrase. It will look like this:
“I hate Auburn ™TKK”
I believe you can trade mark a phrase if it is a brand and considering “I hate Auburn” is a catchphrase on the Dawg Sports message boards, I think that may constitute a brand. I would just like the privilege of being a part of a community that views “I hate Auburn” to be a special and important motto to its core identity.
