Well I Tend to Keep Swearing to a Minimum.... "Oh MY Fffff" "Dammit!" "Jeeesus rice" "F**ker" "Shiiiieeet!" "Omg that was so bad..." "a-gain..."
He may look ugly, but u r playing like him...:crying: U'r not playing very manly 2 day... Doh! U r 2 slow oldtimer... Show some backbone!
Depends wether I'm playing singles or doubles. If I'm playing singles with some friends (I would never do this during club or in tournaments) and I make a mistake like hitting a drop into the net or hit a clear out or something stupid like that the profanities that can be heard are so vulgar and loud mainly involving "f***". If I keep repeating stupid mistakes I tend to start hitting myself in the leg with my racket. When I'm playing singles I would normally never swear, even if just with friends. If I make a mistake I just mutter something to myself under my breath like "come on", but I always try to be really encouraging to my partner, (hard as that can be sometimes ). Azwok.
my bad i had it grrr *slap my left thigh for not making one more step to reach the bird* when its a real bad day, i start to swear in cantonese, and for those of you who know it... hehe you know how nasty those can get, and i don't mean the casual "Diu"
Not talking - yelling at myself! "Move you fat pig!" "Hijo de puta!" and a few other choice ones that might get me banned here.
I do the same for most errors i make. After a tournemant, I have these big, red, bloddy lines on my calf
I try not to talk too much when I'm on court. I just tap my head with my racket at least once. (Never broken my strings yet by tapping/hitting my head) Then I say "sorry" to my partner. IMO, I think badminton is the MOST apologetic sport around. In one game, I tend to say sorry at least more that 10 times (frame/net cord/lucky shot, hitting opponent inadvertantly, shots that could've been easily kills, for shots that I should've taken, etc)
I agree. I say sorry to my partner for like making bad shots, sorry to the other team when I smash, it hits the tape, bounces off some how and goes in, tumbles over, mishit, not correctly giving the bird to them, making a bad shot and nearly getting my partner killed wow, the list is endless, isn't it? My signature put-down... "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr" *Bird lands 10 feet out* "Good eye" I usually only say this to people I know really well. I also seem to have a bad habit of mumbling swear words when I do something really stupid, lol, who doesn't? I've seen some really dirty sportsmanship though i.e. it's going out and the opponent is blowing the bird out.
Well, don't apologise too much cuz it'll sometimes irritate people more. Do it the first few times for each incidents and then stop. But usually I won't stop apologising when I make a bad shot that resulted in my partner getting nailed. Usually just raise my hand if I hit my opponent or got in a lucky shot over the net.
I used to know a competitive male player who would lie on the floor, lift his legs in the air and ask, " can you see the head yet?"...ie saying that he was playing as if he was 9 months pregnant..... we used to howl at that!
My favourites.. "God damn it".... "F***".... "S***".... "Arghh!" "Why???" I curse so much that my doubles partner has to remind me not to lose my temper and focus on the match...
im always saying "shi*ter". And depending on the easiness of the shot it gets louder or quieter haha. And like oh so many people, I give my right calf a nice reminder with my racket haha.
*you hella weak cuz!* *damn. (looks at shuttle, pauses, then looks at opponent )* *wooooooooooooowww....* *gahh!* *check my grip!*
lol here are few of my fav.s that i use sometimes: -Sh** -F*** -great shot dumb a$$ -not now -WHY??? -stupid,stupid,stupid... -dammit -oh crap -move idiot -kill me now -what the F*** was that -what the hel kind of a shot was that etc....
