Wrestling terms used in real life
 

Obviously I'm not talking about when you're discussing wrestling but I find myself slipping wrestling terms into everyday conversation occasionally. For example, when something is popular, I might say that it got "over" with people and I also find myself calling random things gimmicks like when I order at Dunkin' Donuts I'll ask for one those chocolate frosted with the sprinkle gimmicks for example. Does anyone else do this or am I just a huge nerd? Discuss.

i'll slip things like that into non-wrestling conversation with my wrestling friends but not just generally speaking.

I mean I don't go crazy with it and it's usually unintentional but little things like that slip and then I realize in the back of my mind how ridiculous it is although non wrestling fans wouldn't even realize because they are not obvious casual wrestling terms but still lol

I’ve heard way more than you would expect from people you wouldn’t expect. I heard a hot girl use “turn heel” the other week. I’m not sure she knew it was a wrestling term, but she used it to mean someone going bad.

I’ve heard “mark” and “over” being used. It’s more cringe when wrestlers use them. They think it’s so cool, but it’s really not edgy to be using that sort of pretty self-explanatory stuff.

I’ve also heard “heat” and “rib.”

I use 'heat' and 'rib' from time to time as well

I use the word "gimmick" for whatever reason

Gotta slip a “if you wheeeeeel” onto the end of a sentence every now and again

Suck it.
