Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted September 11, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 11, 2016 One of my many favourite things about this place is that sometimes a user comes up with a new word or term to describe something in wrestling, and it catches on - but only on the UKFF. It doesn't make it to the wider world, but it means we've got our own special lexicon for things. Â The best one at the moment is definitely d-d-daz's "twat siren" to describe the start of Cesaro's entrance. Never fails to make me laugh. Â An all-time favourite is "Gabbo build" to describe a really drawn-out buildup for a debuting wrestler. Â "Shitarse" is just a word that makes complete sense for a bad wrestler, but even though it's a word I don't come across outside the forum, it's definitely in common usage round these parts. Â And of course, "Dem Wans" cannot be forgotten. Â Â Any others out there? Have you got a favourite UKFF word or phrase that makes you feel proud to be part of this excellent place? Let us compile this wrestling dictionary! Â Â Â Â The collection so far Dem Wans - stereotypical annoying smark fans Gabbo build - buildup vignettes that don't really go anywhere Internet points - things wrestlers do that Dem Wans like Positively Eugene - to be really excited by a moment in wrestling Shitarse - a wrestler whose skills are like a shitty arse Super Noodle head - Dolph Ziggler Twat siren - the sound that indicates Cesaro appearances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Dem Wanz Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Forgive me for not remembering who it was, but a user on here described themselves as being 'positively Eugene', meaning he was giddy with excitement for something. Had me creasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I thought the point of "Gabbo build" was that it built up a debuting act without actually telling you anything about them? Just throwing their name at you and expecting you to eventually care, like the rubbish Curt Hawkins vignettes it was coined for (I believe).

Paid Members Benno Posted September 11, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2016 The Pitcos coined "Internet Points" is a personal favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted September 11, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 11, 2016 Who was it who said that Zack Sabre Jr's gimmcik was a smaller Peter Crouch or something? That was just belting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackpot Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Wasn't "rawk" banded about not so long? Something to do with the new music of both RAW and SmackDown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted September 12, 2016 Moderators Share Posted September 12, 2016 Sj has it wrong. Dolph is Super Noodle hair, not Pot Noodles, and I invented it and everyone has stolen it off me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but that's not a UKFF thing. It's pretty commonly used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members CoreyVandal Posted September 15, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 15, 2016 I've heard the term 'Gabbo Build' in wrestling way before it was mentioned on here, we even used it in Triple X when we were setting up the debut of Chase Alexander. Sadly we learned that on a low budget British show a mysterious video suddenly playing on the big screen while someones cutting a promo comes off more like a shitty production gaff than anything else.
