While some of us spend many (many) waking hours playing, thinking, pushing Pickleball it is to some, a new idea. It is true that it is a relatively new phenomenon.

With the rise of Pickleball comes the rise in slang terms on the court. Some of the most common are “getting pickled”, “shake-n-bake” and “banger”.

Here are some others we have seen or heard:

BODY BAG
A shot which targets and hits your opponent, in, you guessed it, the body.

GETTING PICKLED
Losing with zero points.

FLY SWATTER
Hitting a ball into the net when trying to hit an overhead.

ATP (Around the post)
A player hits a ball from off the court around the net post.

PEDICURE
Hitting your opponent’s foot.

MANICURE
Hitting your opponent’s hand.

SOCIAL BANGER
A player who only smashes the ball with no thought of dinking.

There will be more and we will keep you posted. Keep checking our list or shoot us an email at hello@georgieandlou.com to add to the list! 

We would love to hear what you have to say. See you on the Pickleball court!
