Bryan 45 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) Raymond, it would be interesting to see you try to convince some folks of that same logic regarding other words in the english language. There are some words that are offending to certain groups that may not be offensive to others. Shott* is one of such words to me!

gohuskers Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I agree. I have to read on car forums idiots who call cars like mine a "chally". Sounds like a gay drink at a disco with an umbrella.

Chivas Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 OK, I will put it to rest. This should now be called "Salient-Technical." Oh wait, I can not because there is nothing wrong with my Salient. There is nothing to talk about. Let's call it NON-FUNCTIONING---Technical!!!

J.Schmitt Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 All this degradation of the shotgun terminology both in the posts and the topic titles. I had a scary thought for a few minutes and thought that maybe an all ghetto match where you can bring all "pimp" toys should be added to the calender. I'll bring my CZ.

kurtm Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) Well I for one think it hasn't gone far enough, We should now start calling all 3 by their Y name Pisty,s Riffy,s (No Jamie! NOT Ruffies) and our beloved Shotty,s...eg. What do you run? Well I've got a Noveske riffy, STI pisty,and a FN Shotty. BTW MODS you missed renaming the 2011 Tactical Shotgun Championship....hahahaha I knew you guys didn't have any attention to detail!

bigbrowndog Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I need to go and get more practicy with my Rimmy Nordy because its cheaper than shooting Centy thru the JPY, then I think I'll run some 200gr bullets thru my Pisty, and finish up with doing some of that loady thingy with my shotty.

Braxton1 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I believe that I shall attempt to take the moral and intellectual high road here and begin referring to my 3-G shotguns as "fowling pieces whose use has been altered to a more-nefarious purpose".... Is that better than "shotty"?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay As long as your match has room for the AK's and chrome/gold Desert Eagle 44s that are in my Property Room, I'm in.... Maybe we could have "SuperMajor" scoring. You would qualify if your gun has enough gold or chrome on it OR you shoot it one-handed and sideways. Edited January 14, 2011 by Braxton1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiserb Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Maybe those who use the term "shotty / shottie" are not actually referring to a firearm: In the drug slang of consumers of cannabis, shotgun (or "shotties") can have one of a number of meanings. A variation of the bong native to South of England, where a straight tube is used instead of a conventional "gauze type" bong tube. Another meaning of "shotgun" can be as an action. One person exhales directly into the mouth of another person. They can be mouth to mouth or use their hands to form a short tube.Additional Info The South English variation on the traditional bong can refer to a "shotgun" or "shotty". Shotties are smoked in a cylindrical shaft (like the barrel of a shotgun) with both marijuana and tobacco, usually from cigarettes. In Canada "shotguns" are widely known as "poppers". The user who is smoking a popper will place a small amount of tobacco in the bottom of the shaft and top it off with marijuana. The user will then light the end of the shaft, and inhale the smoke in one breath. http://en.wikipedia...._%28cannabis%29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwoods Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I emailed a Colorado news station once because the sports reporter constantly used names like...... The Nuggies The Broncs The Rocks And Cutty for (jay cutler) The Colorado State Rammies The Colorado Buffs They sent me an email back stating that he was contracted labor and was not employed by the station.
