Unofficial Glossary (tongue in cheek)

After seeing the woes and the stress that is caused by poor coding and poor design decisions, how about something that tries to reach the lighter side of it all for a change?

Perhaps build a list of the alternate names being given to certain 'features' of the game; an unofficial glossary of sorts?

The first couple I can think of were coined by other users who are free to lay claim to their own terms. 🙂

RNG as a great example. I've seen this doesn't actually stand for random number generator, but instead is the 'Random Nonsense Generator'.

'Manhole covers' is a term I've seen used to describe those really slow roll overs the ball does, when it wants to pretend the hole simply doesn't exist.

One that I would consider appropriate is a new definition for AI.
In this game, AI seems to stand for Assured Impairment.

For example, the AI during quick rounds seems to be able to ruin your scoring averages in a single day. There seems to be no input from all of your averages, and it just randomly pulls number out of the air (or somewhere darker and stinkier) and decides that's good enough. That is not intelligent, it is an impairment.

Can anybody else think of things that should be redefined or given new definitions?

    This term is inspired by one of @Katybee_1313 post.

    Andrei Vasilevskiy’s Net = the size of the hole after the Notorious Update Three. The hole just got smaller due to multiple lipouts like Andrei Vasilevskiy of the Tampa Bay Lightning is at the net.

    These terms are related to the lack of selection of Women’s socks/shoes.

    Gone Postal = the black socks assigned to female golfers that makes them look like postal workers.

    Potato Bag Itch = a female golfer nicely dressed in a white skirt and white blouse to go along with the postal worker socks. This term is inspired by another post from @Katybee_1313.

    I just watched Furiosa this week and I have a term based on a previous post.

    Fast and Furiosa = Glitchy Animation that occurs when Quick Putt is used.

    Torretto Spam = Constantly using quick putt even though it is not recommended.

    Love this word. Just inspired me to use for the next word.

    Let’s Get Ready to F-U: Any Sim Tournament at Wolf Creek with 10+ mph winds.

    I had a few yesterday. On the par 3 hole, I had a putt less than 10 feet left of the hole, show no break. It gave me a weird putting line ending about 6 inches right of the hole. Started a bit left and sure enough... it broke sharply and ended 6 inches right. On the next hole par 5, I ended about 10 feet on the right side of the hole. Green was showing me a sharp left break and game me a straight putting line. I started a bit right and it went as straight as the putting line was showing. Ridiculous.

    I hit the pin on that par 3, and the ball ended in the rough. On the par 5, my short putt went sideways. I reboot and went -6.

    Just got some new terms on courses notorious for missing putts that is not Wolf Creek.

    Never-ian = Evian because missing 3 putts can change tournament score from Elite or Top Ranked to Not Ranked.

    Missey Pines = Torrey pines since multiple putts within 3 ft of the hole can be missed. I remembered missing an auto-putt within 1 ft of the hole costing me a birdie.
