Terminology Pet Peeves

[shootbrownelk]

"Can't eat the horns".

"Don't pass on the first day what you would shoot on the last".

"Tag soup".

These phrases are irritating to me.

I'm with you there BigSur...don't forget "Hardcore Hunter".

How about when "DIY" is repetitively spelled "DYI"? I remember someone on here said "What does DYI stand for? Do Yourself In?" That cracked me up!

Seems like I've done myself in on more than a few hunts!

Exactly, it was hilarious because it almost made more sense than the actual "DIY" label!

So is it a coyote, coyotee, yote, song dog or pasture poodle?

There it is! That just makes me boil!

So did csi Las Vegas so I boycotted them.

 

[packmule]

If they're from Las Vegas shouldn't they know better.




I am 100% sure I can pronounce Las Vegas & Reno correctly.

You would think! Lol

 

[Murdy]

Harvest corn kill deer, me too. Hate that one.

Harvest never really bothers me. I kill deer, then I take them home and eat them, so I harvest them, as opposed to crows or woodchucks, which I simply kill. Actually though, where I grew up, we never used kill or harvest. We used "got." I.E., "Did you get a buck." "Yah, I got a turdy pointer."

 

[packmule]

Naming every buck that gets killed despite never seeing the deer before killing him.

 

[tdub24]

Is Vegas even considered part of Nevada?

 

[Bitterroot Bulls]

You guys are a bunch of hard-asses.

Harvest, goat, naming deer ...

Who cares if you're having fun!

I must admit I cringe when antlers are referred to as horns though. So I guess everybody's got their line in the sand.

Hey....all I said was guys shouldn't be "stalking" elk in women's "stockings" ;-)

 

[Bitterroot Bulls]

Hahaha,

I know.

It just strikes me as odd that guys would get so upset about some of this stuff.

I do chuckle about misspelling lose as "loose." It seems this happens on forums all the time, as in:

"I use a lanyard on my rangefinder so I don't loose it."

Watch out, that rangefinder is on the loose!

 

[Kevin Root]

My spelling is not always the best, and I'm surly guilty of more than one on this list above at one time or another. I hope it brings chuckles and fun more than raising someones blood pressure.
