Backman ends his posts with "On the next top". The other day someone said that at practice and I hadn't heard it since I was about 12. We use digital clocks now!
I'd love to hear words/sayings used in workout or at meets. Here are some used around our pool:
yak or honk, aka to throw up
the hood's open and the tires are coming off- aka exceedingly tired
switching to guns- aka nothing else is working
"Nightmare on Creek Street" aka a workout to avoid
Irish Mile- aka Kerry's mile (11 laps, 10, 9, 8 etc)
toy box- aka a swimmer who not only has, but uses, every piece of swimming equipment known to man!
garbage can lids- aka TYR swim paddles (sizes 3 and up!)
ugly- aka a very hard set
resource lane- aka the lane we all occasionally end up in where nobody does the set right! nor understands it no matter how many times it is explained!!! (special education reference)
That's all for now... please add on :)

I credit this one to my college coach, and I apologize if I offend anyone in explaining it.
BOHICA, which is said right after an incredibly difficult set is given. It means: Bend over... here it comes again.
