most discussions of bullet type, performance, etc when talking about their effect on a 100lb whitetail that could just as easily be killed with a 75 cent walmart round.
Most of the time the words "Always" and "Never" are used, when talking about hunting or shooting.... It just shows the inexperience of the person using those words.
When I conduct a tactical shotgun class I remind the attendees that anyone who uses the term “gauge” (without 12 preceding it) or “shottie” will automatically fail the qualification.
I think the only things that annoy me are the naming of deer around plots (as mentioned) and the guys that do the "triple number" listing which is a phrase coined by Barsness if I'm remembering correctly.
Referring to a cartridge as a caliber or ammo as a bullet... Ignorant! Referring to a box of loaded cartridges as a box of shells. Or empty brass as rounds.
Folks whining about the popularity of the 6.5 Creedmoor. Wahhhhh wahhhhh booo hoooooo snival snival...
The 270 Winchester is not gay. 1 in 10" is gay!
I like DRT. It's totally not the same as a critter running off then dropping which is DROT.
I like DINK.
Worth shooting. Bet you pay someone to skin it too.
" That's whats it's all about", Management buck, harvest instead of kill, guys that wear full camo, but have their big behinds sitting in a heated shooting blind on top of a pile of corn.
What gets me is when anyone finds out that I have a deer camp they have the nerve to ask for free hunting. Had a neighbor like that once. Good kid about 28. He would always see me loading my truck or unloading. I even offered to take him out to help me out there but be declined. Come deer season he was knocking on my door saying he was ready to go. The guy never hunted in his life and I probably would have given him the chance if he would've taken initiative to help me with things out there. Ignorance. People have no freaking idea how much hard work and$ goes into maintaining property and such but want to come shoot a deer on your property for free. That gets on my damn nerves more than anything
"Will you let me borrow your mules to pack out my elk,horse rentals are too expensive " .Like it it doens't cost me anything to keep my stock all year long.
What particularly irritates me are the fu_kwits that insist on posting or telling me about how their you-beaut knife lasts forever and can still shave the arse hair from a mouse.
Might sound plausible to those who don't use knives but for those of us that have used them to make a living it just marks that particular lying filth as base stupid.
Same happens where I see some twit posts pictures of a carcase they have butchered and there is not even part of the selvage intact, and there always seems to be crap and intestine contents all over the guts and meat..it has got to the point where I just don't bother reading knife related posts anymore.

Could go on but my rage kicks in. Better go listen to Christmas music....oh schit! Ya not hunting but if you spell Christmas Xmas theyll never find your body!!!!
I dislike bullet by those who do not know what a bullet is; that brings up bullet casings (cup and core came apart?), bullet points, and the round part which must be the casing shape. I learned antelope, so dislike pronghorn even if it is correct. There are all the sulfur smells from cordite. The ranges told can't be all right, first you are hard pressed to even see an elk at 1000 in a tree line, then you have to hold over way more than a foot. And the exact measurments like 527 yards. Unfortunately I do understand patterning a rifle, never did cure one of it.

triple number listing?
Me too. I'm comin up blank on that one. Scoring antlers, maybe?
I drive a truck, not a semi-truck, the trailers I pull are almost always semi-trailers. My truck is whole. Your pickup is just that, it's a pickup! Truckers that call cars four-wheelers. A canopy is not a topper .
This thread is starting to irk me. Threads that irk me.
Calling any number of dozens of different shrubs, sagebrush.
Splitters. Fine call a Gunnison Sage Grouse a Gunnison but why the fugg do we need to call the other the Greater? Stupid.
A Stellar's jay and a scrub jay are indeed blue but they ain't no damned blue jay!
Sage thrashers are not Western meadow larks. Listen, the meadowlark has one more note at the end of the song!
Calling a 4 point 4x4 a 8 point, or a forked horn a 4 point, so,,, is a spike a two point?
Dont get pissed at us because youre too phuggin stupid to count
Be interesting to know how the tradition got started with that western vs eastern count system. All I know for sure is that in the south if you can get a ring on it, its a point that WILL be counted!
For that matter, why in hell call the buck "4x4?" That would imply sixteen something. It oughta be called a "4-plus-4," that would make a lot more sense. Which makes me think of...
Scopes:
"for sale, Leupold 3x9x40."
WTH is that?? The scope is a three to nine power, so call that "3-9x" for pete's sake. AND...there are differences between a Vari-X II, and VX-II, and a VX-2. Always have to carefully look at these scope adds in classifieds everywhere. The scope is a 3-9x40. NOT a 3x9x40.
I don't think less of a feller if his text is missspelled, porely punktuated, or doe'st have enough paragraps.
But when they throw out stuff like shotty, pill, & fodder when pertaining to guns & ammo, I begin too judge. And a new one I've noticed lately..... using the word "pew" for gun. Where the fugg did that come from?
I know a guy that talks about how big his bucks were in class size. To hear him he only shoots “150 class or bigger bucks”. I just want to know how many points it has. He must have better eyesight than me. Dave
I was slumming a Kimber Montucky in six and a half Creed wearing a Super Chicken when the mulie buck appeared. I lazered him and sent a Berger his way. It touched down right behind his front shoulder. DRT. Hammer of Thor. Thats how I roll...
"Catch anything?" Wife asks every time I come in from hunting. She gets a kick out of it because I have tried to correct her in the past. I gave up. She did again today.

In August I took my (lovely imported) wife on a cross-country road trip. In Eastern Montana she asked me if they put all the hay bales out in the fields to dry?
"speedgoat" for pronghorn. Where the hell did that start? I have been hunting pronghorns for 60 years and never heard that before getting on these forums.
"Annie" for Anschutz, Remmie for Remington, Winnie for.. you get the idea.

You forgot - at 823.467 yards and wasn't it around the back side of a tree? That 1-7 gives it just the right amount of "English" to turn the corner.
AR safety's seem ass-backward to me. When it is across or perpendicular to the bore it should be Safe, parallel or pointing forward should be fire. Guys complain about the CZ safety, they don't bother me and an AR does. Just doesn't compute right in my brain, Maybe because i am left handed?

Guess you just called me a fu-kwit then. But that’s how I make my knives...be glad to send you a dull Havalon if it’d make you happy!
"Fudd" "Gat" "-gat" as a suffix, as in "wheelgat", "shotgat", "fuddgat", "levergat", "spacegat" "pew" "blat" "boi", as in "long boi", "shooty boi"
These terms seem might seem appropriate for the 5-year-old crowd, but it's actually the 20-to-30-something crowd that seems to adore this kind of baby talk.

And I second whoever mentioned that beef jerky eatin, waffle house lovin, Michael Waddell.
The boys will be going down to the XXXT ranch in Texas and will be putting some "Booners" on the ground. Calling Pronghorns 'Lopes. Calling the tines on antlers "Tangs". "Ground Shrinkage". And idolizing Cameron Haines.
How many rounds through it? I may not be too bright, but I can't find the round counter on any of my guns..............
Actually I reload for all my bolt action center fires (except the 223) and write it down on the box how many times the brass has been reloaded so I can tell you within just a few rounds how many were "down the tube".

In circumstances like that, it's not hard to know, but that is the exception, rather than the rule. Used guns on the rack in a gun shop have no such provenance.

No doubt about it......and even counting reloads isn't 100% due to split cases and such.
that exact phrase was used by US ground troops in the Ardennes 1944.
US pilots had so many incidences of accidentally straffing their own soldiers, ,that ground troops adopted the kill or be killed approach by opening up everything they had on anything that flew their way ..they didn't care what markings the fuselages displayed.
Quad .50cal AA set ups meant they had their own measure of success against their own aircraft.

Some folks buy a gun. Shoot it, never wear it out. Others it gets bad so they dump it and buy another gun
Those of us that have gunsmiths, and replace barrels know exactly how simple it is to keep a round count and WHY.
I swear we used to not have such stupid topics, but to each their own.
There are things I don't like, but then I started realizing that worrying about anything other than ourselves wastes our valuable time. Call it what you want, stay out of our way, life will be fine.

Your time being so valuable, why post on or even read a thread you think is stupid?
I don't care for a lot of terms that my friends use but to each his own. One line I always did like "keep your booger picker off the bangswitch." It sounds funnier that finger off the trigger. Makes my grandkids remember safty.

"I took a sound shot!" - some Bubba puts his rifle on his hip and cranks one into the woods because "he heard something". Always claims that he hit a deer "but couldn't find it".
You guys have hit my highlights for sure, but I have to throw another 1000 votes out there for "send it".............All the keyboard sniper/spotter types love it
"I took a sound shot!" - some Bubba puts his rifle on his hip and cranks one into the woods because "he heard something". Always claims that he hit a deer "but couldn't find it".
Some day I need to tell the story of my old hunting partner. He used to start talking about taking sound shots to those who didn't know him when ever he wanted to thin some of the hunters out of his neck of the woods. His name was Norman and he had a big red nose to match his brown brandy bottle in his back pocket full of water.
When self-proclaimed "experts" use ballistic/projectile information incorrectly - most common is SD - sectional density (not Standard Deviation which is a term related to statistics and useful for evaluating velocity consistency).
So, the phouck-tard wanna-be expert presumes that SD is the end-all, be-all measurement for determining a given bullets effectiveness on game (as if the dimensional relationships actually determine rigidity of a projectile..... they sorta forgot that rigidity of a projectile is primarily determined by it's materials and construction...duh).
And nearly as bad is when they concoct relationships between terms like BC - ballistic coefficient, SD, and presume those dreamed-up relationships actually have some "real-world" basis in fact....when they obviously do not....
Also, prideful old gits who think they know something, but actually forgot most of what they larned 30 years ago and blend the rest into some strongly-held scientific treatise based on empirically determined physics (resulting in wanton self-reflection.....like right now. ugh).
That guy is a genius. He figured out that a .270 Win. is adequate for small deer but inadequate for larger deer. He was promoted after that discovery, which saved lots of hunters incalculable grief. Now only hunters who go looking for dinks will carry a .270 Win. Hunters who look for trophy deer will know better.
Not big on naming deer, there are however, exceptions I believe.
Had a buck around where I hunt we tried to kill for YEARS...eventually started calling him "Old Frosty Nuts"(not sure who came up with that name). Found him(or what we assumed was him) dead in a fence row squirrel hunting, apparently of old age, not a mark on him.
I also find it funny when people say deer are hard to kill, the big, smart ones can be hard to spot. It does not however, take a howitzer with a 20x scope to kill them.
I admit I haven't read all of these comments yet but the term"SEXY" when referring to a firearm bugs the [bleep] outta me.Do guns have boobs? a nice butt? beautiful eyes? No it might be a good looking gun but sexy it is not:)
There's a few but let me start with 2 yankee phrases that really grate with me........ 1. "That's what I am talking about", when the ijot wasn't talking about anything whatsoever. 2. "Have at it". I had to ask for an interpreter when the English language was butchered that much when I first heard it.
For guns&stuff, how about
"Inherently Accurate" "Bit of a zephyr at play" "Old betsy" "Weapon", its a damn huntng rifle and never intended by the user to be otherwise. "Leupy" how much time did you save writing that and more importantly, how did you utilize that time saving? "General bitching" about obsolete/discontinued preferences over current rifles eg "Pre-64" and the Marlin disease that cries over safeties and Remington ownership. Enough. "Repeated BS" eg Creedmore/Creedmoor upset. Ownership is not compulsory. Grow up. " Efficient cartridge"
Some Good/Underutilized phrases? 1. "Missed it by that, much" 2. "Wanna nuther beer while I'm up?" 3. " That's a damn good fire" 4. " Saw a good buck this morning" and got some pics
Glass bedding.....as opposed to the correct term Epoxy bedding.
Now I'm confused as I only bed using Devcon and that gets complicated because I have used both Steel and Aluminium but some can't spell that let alone say it. My redneck neighbor is hilarious even trying to recite the coloquial interpretation.

If i recall correctly....i believe 'glass bedding' was coined because initially, the hardening resin used in fiberglass was used for bedding the receiver in the stock.
Nowadays we have epoxy which functions the same as hardening resin (but works better?).
Are you in Wisconsin? I will help. Not to hijack a thread but that takes ALOT of balls or stupidity to expect to hunt for free without at least some sweat equity.

Can't believe I just read through this entire post. I couldn't stop, too funny. A couple that irk me that haven't been mentioned - Referring to magazine as clip, and chambers as hole or pipe. e.g."Holds 5, 4 in the clip and one in the hole (or pipe)."
"Smoke a pack a day" bumper sticker with cross-hairs over a wolf.
Almost ruined my keyboard with coffee when I saw this. Love it. I'd buy it if I saw it.
Not wanting to start an argument but what other phrase would one use to indicate the range was active with live fire? It seems using, “the range is hot” and “the range is cold” are pretty universally understood.

Agreed. It's how it's said that rankles.
It's normally bellowed by some 300 lb. SWAT-geared wannabee that couldn't drag a deer 50 yards w/o having a coronary....thinking he's auditioning for the part of a range officer in the next Bob Lee Swagger movie.

You are wrong about that, the original glass bedding kits sold had a small package of fiberglass in it that you mixed with the epoxy to make the stock stiffer.. that's where the glassbedding started...

What it really takes is a hippy raised Millenial who thinks he is entitled to what others have earned. His leftist parents never taught the little brat the meaning of sweat equity.

For sell: Remmy 700 in 257 Roy and Leupy 6.5x20x50 mounted on a picaninny rail. Shinny bore. Shoots flat as a laser and hits like the Hammer of Thor. Guaranteed DRT! Shoots .5 MOA at three hunnert all day if you do your part.
Any item that has ey or ie added to the shortened version - such as Leupy, Remmy, Annie. Does it really take that much time to type a couple of extra characters?
And then of course there is the near undecipherable gibberish posted by Big Stick.
Shoots like a laser Kills at both ends If I can see it, I can hit it Pumpkin balls Thunder stick trigger breaks like a glass rod trigger as sensitive as a gate latch mushroom bullets bang stick

Anything 270, Texas heart shot, dink, holy'er than tho hypocrites,
Yep, “Texas heart shot”, just a vile phrase for shooting game through the region of the anus.
Actually Texas heart shot is less vile than saying something like....that Texan used a .338-378 Wby for the great shot he made along the fence line at a lazered 60 yards and made a perfect shot hittin’ the sonuvabitch in the ass as the deer ran away from him.....or my buddy out in West Texas shot his deer perfectly, right up the ass hole...

It ain't just Texas. I came across an Idaho heart shot cow while Coyote hunting a few years ago. I had to put her down with my 17rem......
The right leg had a compound fracture and was folded up under her.
That sounds stupid to me, but I’m not very bright, and you might be right, but I might have been yesterday, but I was up all night. “ I’m in between jobs.”
Platform and running. As in--"I'm running an AR platform in 3-gun competition. Of course, there's always those that talk about Smith & Westerns, Mossbergers and Thompson Centerfires. Also, those that ask to see a 9-11 pistol (1911). I work in a gunshop.

"platform" makes me just crazy. Who the hell started that and why did he do it?
I suppose its hard to be tacticool without a platform.

One happy go lucky homo asked to see a "Dillinger"

I never figured out where the back shoulder was...
I hadn't thought about that one even though I've heard it hundreds of times.
I borrowed my cousin's 222 back in the mid sixties to kill my first deer with a rifle. I was 15. He told me to hold just behind the deer's 'fore shoulder'. I was tempted to ask him where the 'aft shoulders' were on the deer, but knew better. He was a very serious, no BS type of guy. Today, at age 94, he is still tough as nails, runs a 700+ acre cattle operation with the help of one nephew, and is still just as much a 'no BS' type of guy as ever. Last time I went by there to visit, I saw that same Rem M700 BDL sitting in a gun rack on a 4 wheeler. It was covered with rust, very little blue, and little wood finish left. He was still killing vermin with it. Vermin to him is anything that bothers his cattle operation, including deer, coyotes, dogs, etc.
BTW, I killed a half dozen or so deer with his 222 holding 'just behind the fore shoulder'....
What else ya gonna call 1,300 grains of lead launched by 250 grains of BP?
It's the one in the back..........
Dan, I hope you use the iron loop at the front of the barrel to tie that SOB down onto something solid and heavy before you pull the trigger.....shheeeesh!
Have to say, Im a bit amused when I hear some guy tell me of his latest AR "build", JFC, I would hazard most have us had way more difficult "builds" putting some of our kids Christmas toys together on Christmas eve?

I guess it hits like the Hammer of Thor when you actually beat someone/thing with it...
I knew a gunsmith that pushed his way into Hornady with a "bullet failure". The old man asked him where he got the failed bullet; it came from a dead deer; subject closed.
I do notice the MSM is getting a little bit more savvy on proper names for components, I don't know if that is good or bad
