Easily misunderstood hobby talk idioms/terminology

[99goals]

I wanted to start a collection of idioms/terms we use in the hobby that no one outside of the hobby would understand. I have a funny idiom but I will save that story for my blog post later this evening.

Here are a few that come to mind.

"Yo man you gotta slab that one". Reference to grading a card in a slab
"Dude that's a fatty". Reference to a fat pack that might have a super think jersey card or jersey/auto.

Okay Your turn

I have never heard the term "Dude that's a fatty" , except for another hobby completely unrelated to sportscards.

"Wicked,it's a decoy" meaning another fantastic decoy pull.

"Ace of base" meaning, a pack of base. Ok that's the Ironman Indys famous phrase but it's caught on locally.

Boomsauce and mojo come immediately to mind

 

[jetsman]

Any of...

"how much did you bust" "what did you hit"

I swear, if I said those things and a cop was nearby, I'd be up against the hood of a squad car with my hands behind my back... again...

 

[Hata]

"OMG, it's a foam!!"
"That's a sick PC!"
"That box was loaded!"

"Boomsauce"...sounds like someone saying "Hey, I just pulled a nice card, everyone gather around for a money shot, but let me get my goggles first."

"Pulling" a card is another latently, um, alternative expression.
