Words/Phrases you'd never say if you weren't a wrestling fan
 

"acumen" Quickness, accuracy, and keenness of judgment or insight.

Vince McMahon - "Well this up and comming Superstar certainly has the wrestling acumen to rise to the top here in the World Wrestling Federation"

.................................................................................................... ....

Is it true that as a young child Vince McMahon and Jim Ross taught me longer words than my elementary school teachers did? Yes!

List here wrestling terms or words used that you'd never have known/used otherwise.

Fakkin' Bollshiiiitt by the Iron Sheik. Came in handy when my Yankees sucked in the post-season.

When somebody ignores something, I call it a "no-sell".

Testicular fortitude. For example:

"Fragile X lacks testicular fortitude, and therefore punches women"

Platitude- picked it up from a Jericho promo
Mark- in reference to any sort of idiot that buys into marketing
Cornucopia of Confection- Goldust used it in a promo once

beat him like a government mule, slobberknocker, external occipital protuberance, anything Damien Sandow says.....

jobber, mark, jabroni, no sell, pop, heat, i'm sure there are many more

testicular fortitude

Woo Woo Woo!

"drizzling shits" damn can't remember which wrestler i got this from.

Just the phrase that everyone thinks when The Rock has a mic

well that's absolutely not the case.

i mean i guess i could see having an issue with his in ring work, but his mic work? ridiculously entertaining. don't get your post.

Gelatinous

Know your role and shut your mouth.

Solar plexus, slobber knocker, testicular fortitude, and a more recent gem from Sandow:

My beard is geometric perfection!

I have to force myself to stop mid-sentence when I'm talking to someone who doesn't know what "mark(ing/ed) out" means.

I don't use any wrestling terms outside of talking about it with someone who watches it or whatever.

I use the term "put over" more than I have any right to.

Machismo.

I say "mark" "over" and "popped" occasionally. Also, I refer to myself as a heel/tweener depending on the day.

You never learned a word longer than 3 syllables in elementary??

I often refer to something fake or bullshit as a Work; or in cases of speaking honestly with someone I say I "shoot" with them.

Also refer to Drugs as "gimmicks"

I as well say the following in normal speech...

Gig
Work
Put over
Sell, sold
Color
Push
Turned
4 life
Bannanas! (New, vintage)

Heel when describing a villain.

I've taken to using 'vintage' like Cole.

Nonchalant.

YES!YES!YES!

Shocker...you talk like a douchebag smark.

Really? As a question.

I'm an actor, so I use the words "mark", "kayfabe", "gate" and "marked out" more than you'd expect

I'd never know what TPWW was if I wasn't a wrestling fan :shifty:

SUCK IT

No but I got two words for ya

If you're an actor I would expect you to use / hear the words "mark" and "gate" quite a bit because they are also acting terms, albeit with completely different meanings.

chumpstain

Virgin?

What does "gate" mean in acting? I didn't think "gate" was that uncommon of a word for saying money made off ticket sales/attendance.

It's the way faggots walk, with a gate.

The way you typed it, it would be one word....

My dad always told me they walk "like they got a dick up their ass."

It's part of the camera that the film passes through, not something an actor would generally talk about but you'd hear the director or crew members mention it several hundred times to make sure its clean if youre working on film.

It's more commonly referred to as the "house" if youre talking about theatre ticket sales, have only really heard anyone call it the gate when talking about sports.

hahaha was gonna post that too.
