    lets see the one i use most often is i just close my eyes and let out a loud long ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!. if i make a really stupid mistake or miss the easiest shot i will just start to mumble to myself random things, well mostly random things just to get my anger out. and then theres always the ocassional swear word and OMG that finds its way out into the open but that rarly happens:rolleyes:.

    yeah, i did that once. not in a hurry to repeat it though, cause it hurt awwwfully :eek: and left a thin red line in no time.

    another frequent put-down would be: "you, you FOOL!"

    at other times, i try to convince myself i was cursed to play so badly.

    i think Mag, it's a good job you know how not to give way to anger and frustration. i mean, it leaves much time to just concentrate on playing better, doesn't it. i rarely use sarcasm on court and only when i know i can't do much to increase my score anymore ie. towards the end of 2 sets.

    Some more...

    (As if advertising) - "The new Carlton spade! For those who demand nothing from their racket as it wouldn't make any difference to their pathetic game!" Or something.
    "Happy birthday"
    (In the style of Gil from the Simpsons) - "Oh Gawd! You gotta give Gil a chance!"

    not the wisest choice.... i used to do that (and still do... but really infrequently...) until this one game... i made so many mistakes, and i did it after every mistake.... my right calf ended up being ridiculously swollen.... basically, everything under the knee was one big bruise....:(

    I like to be creative, so I usually say different things, it really depends on what happens. If anybody feels their phrases are a bit stale then I can give you a link to a site that tells you how to swear in 44 different languages! :p

    If I remember correctly you're not fat :confused:

    I generally shout "move your feet you f***ing fat lazy bas***d" and then afterwards I encourage myself by swearing at myself a bit more.

    And you can't beat the plain simple "oh f**k", but it sounds better in a Glaswegian accent!

    Do you think swearing at oneself is a UK based thing?

    Oh BUGGER.

    For the first few times.

    Then comes all the swear words under the sun.
    Then more of the swear words in many different languages.

    Then 'chuck the dummy', pack up and go home.

    Then hope the dog is not in my way when I get back.

    If I make a really stupid mistake, I generally come to a complete standstill, put my hands on hips, roll my eyes sykward, let out a huge (but audible) sigh, shake my head a couple of times, turn to my opponent and give them a knowing sheepish look :eek: . On occasion, I will tap my racket on my calf a few time and mutter "come on" (or worse) under my breath.

    Well at my school the ceiling lights often blinds you when the birdies come :mad:. So it have became a traditional scape goat for mine and others on the team. Even though i made a mistake purely on my own i find myself blaming the light
    -Stupit light
    -Dam lets switch sides (never works with the other player)
    Other phrases that i use are
    -Doh!!
    -WTF
    -Mannnn
    -F**k
    -Oh hell no...
    :D
