Hahahaha -- some great new metaphors in this I hadn't heard before. http://blogs.golf.com/presstent/2012/02/golfers-glossary-a-golfers-only-dictionary-from-golf-magazine.html I like Bernie Madoff and Press Secretary.

Any of you have other new phrases besides the ones we've all been using for years?

This is great! Sadly, I can relate to a lot of these. They sound better than sware words and other nasty phrases that are typically thrown out there.

My favorite is the Captain Kirk.

Thanks!

Captain Kirk noun a wayward shot that goes where no ball has ever gone before

 

When I do that I say "hit that one into grandma's kitchen"

I like the press secretary, a new one on me.  Some of the others seemed a bit of a stretch for their meaning, unlike the relatively simple ones like Linda Ronstadt: vt, blew by you.
