Just replied to an email from July

I suck, but a fan sent an email in July that I just discovered.  Anyway, he had some alternate terms for BOP, Tettleton and Bunyan.  If you guys have anymore, put them on the database and let us know their origin here.  If you'd rather post, that's coll and I'll add to the database.

We call a Tettleton the Oquendo

And a Bunyan would be a great example of a "Tengen Hop"

[Gantry]

I like Tengen Hop, but why is it called the Oquendo?  The person you have the most success with?

[Reds]

Oquendo is the only player we ever use that batting style with...ever

The tengen Hop is anytime the ball somehow generates power off of the field and gets a big bounce over a player's head...mostly seen on bloop singles....we gave it the name because we always called the field Tengen Field so a bad hop off of the playing surface would obviously be a Tengen Hop.

We always called a BOP a "b'doink" if for no other reason than that is how we heard the sound as it was happening.


Here's one that we used anytime something unfortunate ( a "b'doink", overthrow, or some glitch) would happen to one of us that was seemingly unfair and not controllable...

Now keep in mind I mean no offense by this as it came about when I was just a youngin' and was insensitive to others (now I'm just old and insensitive).  This was certainly not a hate crime against the Jewish community. Whenever something as stated above would happen we would refer to it as being "jule-rused". It came from when we were kids playing basketball and the person you were guarding would throw up a horrible shot and call "foul" on the shot to bale themselves out. That was known as "jew rules" (implying that the other person was cheating you or trying to get over on you unfairly, much like the unfair stereotype of the Jewish community  ). One day, one of us tried to say it too fast and it came out "jule-ruse" and it stuck (plus it sounded much less offensive).

example: "I was ahead in the game until the ninth inning. Easy pop fly to end the game but then I got jule-rused and the outfielder dropped the ball allowing the winning runs to score".

We always called the Tettleton, "the cock," as in cocking your bat.  But it was/is fun to say stuff like, "I can't get my cock in," you know, if you can't get to the Tettleton before the pitch is thrown.

And since Riley and I are probably the premiere cock users (damn, that's just too easy for talent like yours to comment on), this is the official name of the maneuver.

I always say, "cocked bat"

Yes, way to take the fun out of what we say.  What's this about a "Not Funny Level?"
