Half wit terms we use

Post by brad27 » Fri Mar 16, 2012 8:17 pm

Since humor wasn't appreciated on the other thread this one has been started. So, same format and idea as Scott's, but nothing serious. Have fun. There are a couple guidelines though.

1. Don't give me just a word, define it. Example: "kennel point"- when a dog stops to poop while hunting, trailing or testing.

2. Don't put other games, breeds, or people down. A little ribbing is fine, but don't be mean.

Linden retrieve - when you shoot a bird for the puppy and he takes off with the bird, passing by not not close enough for you to grab it. You give Chase and realize your not fast enough. Feeling sorry for its owner, the puppy returns with the bird.
