Paid Members ElCece Posted September 9, 2015 Paid Members Posted September 9, 2015 The one I use regularly to the point my wife now uses it is heat. I use it regularly and it's really the only one that as infiltrated it's self into my everyday life Quote
CavemanLynn Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I use the phrase "stealing their gimmick" whenever anyone copies someone. Also there's a corridor at work narrowed by a shelf of stock. I turn my torso sideways so I can keep walking but let someone coming the other way past. Caught myself dropping into a Bad Guy strut once they're by. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted September 10, 2015 Paid Members Posted September 10, 2015 Using the phrase "get over" when something catches on or someone becomes popular from a particular thing. Quote
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted September 10, 2015 Awards Moderator Posted September 10, 2015 Of course wrestling but more so the Steve Austin podcast has lodged the phrase 'gimmick' in my everyday vocabulary. It comes out whenever I want to say "feature" - I used it in a non-wrestling Tweet to JNLister just this week. Quote
dopper Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I do the same thing with "gimmick" usually when I can't remember the name of the thing I am describing. It came from a Wade Keller shoot interview with The Hardy Boyz when Jeff Hardy is telling some story about a barrier coming down as he tried to exit a car park, and he couldn't remember the word barrier and said "gimmick". I found it was one of those things you start off doing deliberately to amuse yourself and it morphs into something you do without realising it. Quote
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted September 10, 2015 Paid Members Posted September 10, 2015 I never quite get how some of the grapplers use the "gimmick" word regarding medication. "What gimmicks was he taking back in the day to end up like that?" Blows my mind, for some weird reason. Quote
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted September 10, 2015 Paid Members Posted September 10, 2015 I'd imagine if someone asked in 1985 if they could borrow your gimmick you didn't know whether to hand over your blade, your wife, your pills or your mask. Quote

Wrestlers are like smurfs for that. If you asked Stone Cold if you could borrow his gimmick he'd give you his cock. Quote
Paid Members air_raid Posted September 10, 2015 Paid Members Posted September 10, 2015 I use "gimmick" constantly. Somebody doesn't have character traits, they have a gimmick. I also use "sell" all the time. When somebody reacts to a joke/insult/anything where I feel it's over the top or unwarranted, I always come out with "Don't sell that!" Quote

andrew "the ref" coyne Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Myself and my partner have introduced a "money in the bank" style gimmick into our lives. We trade in poker chips, which can be used to override a decision. So for example if we can't agree on a film / DVD / restaurant... We can cash in our chip and override the other. My partner used her last one to enforce a chick flick for a DVD rental. I plan to use mine to force her to go see a action film at the cinema. Quote

Slapnut Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 In uni, my housemates and I had a Hardcore Championship which was obviously defended 24/7. It was usually won by simply placing a finger on the champion as they had both shoulders resting on the back of the sofa while a third party counted the pinball, but on the odd occasion it would change hands after a full on assault. We decided to stop after one occasion where the current champion was being attacked by my other housemate and he fell half way down the stairs and fucked his ankle. It didn't stop said attacker from pinning him mind, ignoring the screams of "GET THE FUCK OFF ME I'VE BROKEN MY LEG!". Quote
