Sand-bagging is pretending to be a lower level player than you really are.
Poaching is when the player at net moves to volley a shot intended for his/her partner, to either win the point or put the opposing team on the defensive.
.
Camilio Pascual04-14-2004, 12:18 PM
When one deliberately calls a ball of yours out when it was in, you've been hooked.
A hooker is a cheater.
A greaser is a pro who did something that would be cheating under amateur rules.
Such as what Henin did at Roland Garros.
So, she is not a hooker, but a greaser.
Being double bageled is losing a match 6-0, 6-0.

Anyone use "shank" for mis-hits or framed balls?
.
Max G.04-17-2004, 02:00 PM
Yeah, that's a "shank."
Also - sometimes people abbreviate "fifteen" to "five" when calling the score.

A 6-0, 6-1 score is "A bagel and a breadstick"
.
joegerardi04-18-2004, 03:41 AM
This one's my own...
When you "shank" it, and it goes over the net with really weird spin,
I call that a "slopspin" shot.
See, it's not SLice, not tOP, it's SLOP....
uk_skippy04-18-2004, 10:59 AM
Here's some from the UK, well ones are club has used in the past...
A bandit is the same as a previously explained sand-bagger.
Tubing is to nail the guy at the net in his stomache
Smoked is when you burned someone with a passing shot
saying '5' instead of '15' when you call score.
Dropping the winning set score etc saying you won 5 and 4 means you won 7-5, 6-4.

FISHING QUOTES
.
For angling-rod he took a sturdy oak;
For line, a cable that in storm ne'er broke;
His hook was such as heads the end of pole
To pluck down house ere fire consumes it whole;
This hook was bated with a dragon's tail,
-- And then on rock he stood to bob for whale.
Sir William Davenan
.
And angling too, that solitary vice, What Izaak Walton sings or says: The quaint, old, cruel coxcomb, in his gullet Should have a hook, and a small trout to pull it.
Lord Byron
.
Modesty is the only sure bait when you are fishing for praise.
Lord Byron
.
As the lone Angler, patient man, At Mewry-Water, or the Banne, Leaves off, against his placid wish, Impaling worms to torture fish.
Lord Byron
.
Old Peter Grimes made fishing his employ; His wife he cabined with him and his boy, And seemed that life laborious to enjoy.
George Crabbe
.
The biggest fish he ever caught were those that got away.
Eugene Field
.
The end of fishing is not angling, but catching.
Thomas Fuller
.
It is a silly fish that is caught twice with the same bait.
Thomas Fuller
.
Still he fishes that catches one.
Thomas Fuller
.
When if or chance or hunger's powerful sway
Directs the roving trout this fatal way,
He greedily sucks in the twining bait,
And tugs and nibbles the fallacious meat.
Now, happy fisherman; now twitch the line!
How thy rod bends! behold, the prize is thine!
John Gay
.
They may the better fish in the water when it is troubled.
Richard Grafton
.
There is only one theory about angling in which I have perfect confidence, and this is that the two words, least appropriate to any statement, about it, are the words "always" and "never."
Lord Edward Grey
