Topic: Supermanned

[Foos4Life69]

So my fellow work foosers and I coined a term for getting pwned by the immediate kickback slap shot that goes so fast that you don't even realize it was a goal until your opponent puts the score up. It shall henceforth be known as The Superman. Rules indicate that if Supermanned 3 times in a game or 5 times in a day you shall be called Trick or Ho for the remainder of said day. WhyDoFoosFallinLove, one my coworkers, posters to this website and hardcore foosball devotee has been further demoted from Trick/Ho to Assistant Trick for his poor play and refusal to get me my glass of water when I told him to.

Is this the same thing as getting flashed?

[bbtuna]

do you mean, usually guy is shooting from the goalie 2 rod and the opposing forward "stuffs" the goalies shot (well attempted shot) back in the goal and often so hard that you don't see what is happening? 

this has traditionally other names but any way you want to name it to humiliate the one getting thumped is good

one of my best moments came from stuffing the goalies 2 rod shot while i was playing goalie doing it with my 2 rod shot...it stopped play and there was quite a bit of smack talk and lots of yelling and screaming going on by everyone on and around the table...well, except the person who "ate" the ball .....

who was it you ask, well i would not want to embarass Steve Tran any more by mentioning his name in public especially since this happened 2 years ago

oh, and by the way, WhyDoFoosFallinLove should be a good beotch and a good little trick pony and do as she is told...play by the rules loser, you eat, then you pay

Trick Pony?  Is there some new table that has ponyies as the little foosball guys?  That would be pretty sweet.  I've had that thing happen to me quite a bit where I'm playing the back and try to hit it, but the dude in front of me blocks it into the goal.   I deel so bad having that goal scored on me, but it's all in fun right?  Seriously, where's this pony table?

Whydofoosfallinlove, your grammar is ALMOST as bad as your Foosball play and etiquette. We'll go again when you grow some skills and brains, until then newbs like you should stick to the minor leagues. PWNED

At my work we call this getting "foosed"

At my work we call this getting "foosed"

That's what my groups of friends called it growing up in the early 80's...and in this day and age of getting "PWNED" it certainly does not have the same effect as calling someone a "trick" or "ho".

"Din-Din Morris" or "Morrissed" has been my favorite saying for years, a close second/third is simply yelling the words "FEED ME, SEYMOUR!" or "EAT!".

Most players under 30 don't get the first two references, but that's OK I do it more to pump myself up than to make them feel bad...

I "Morrissed" a goalie from my own 2bar about a month ago, it was an awesome feeling, lol

Getting Supermanned should only be called that when getting the hardest, rip-you-head-off-reach-down-rip-the heart-up-and-eat-it stuff from the 3bar or 5bar.

Thats when you're trying to shoot from your 2bar and the opposing forward thunderously palmrolls and stuffs the ball back into your goal with his 3bar & 5bar figures starting in an UP or OPEN position.  Booming the ball to pop out of your goal with this no-prisoners-taken stuff is even better.  In that case, you and your whole family clan should surrender as abject slaves for two generations to the forward.

That would be a Superman.... no arguments about luck in hitting the ball or anything after that.  That stuff would be akin, although not as hard or difficult, as hitting a 95mph majorleague pitch with your bat.

Down here in South Florida, basic stuffs are called stuffs or being made to "Eat it".  But they also have a dear old volleyball term that is so succinct: Getting Roofed.  That's when you're trying to spike or punch the volleyball back across at the net, but then suddenly realizing the volleyball came crashing back into your face and you crash to the floor.  Hard instant stuffs into the goal from any starting rod would be roofing, not quite Superman stuffs, but roofing is still a near-perfect term.

how about FACEMASK

We call it a backstrike.  I know a defender who's specialty is backstriking - nothing breaks a striker's game faster than the ball going into the goal at the WRONG end of the table at the exact moment he was supposed to score...
