Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Will Never Top Michael Jordan

I need your help with the Nicknames and Glossary pages

It was pointed out on Monday that the Nickname and Glossary terms are slightly archaic as DDC's age must have caught up to him so I asked him about it. After getting yelled at to "Get off my lawn", he relented. Instead of letting it become another Top 19 list, I have taken it over.  After all, this site is so awesome I want it to be welcoming to new members. Maybe they’ll get that warm "cupcakes just out of the oven" feel.

Now, I've done some additions but the MHH lifestyle is so ingrained in me at this point I have stared at a guy open-mouthed when he asked me to go mini-golfing with him and his buddies. This is where you lot come in because I need a little help. If there is anything that you think should be added please let me know. Remember, this is both for nicknames and glossary terms. You guys rock!

I’m also pretty sure the nickname “Dutch” has been accepted by the MHH people, lame or not. As has “Mighty Matt” (when Duchene deserves it, which hasn’t been very much recently). I know that it has been tossed about here for a while, but here is Mike Haynes using it after Matt’s goal against the Predators, so I guess it counts as offical.

Just a thought...

Ok. So this idea is only half-baked at best, but what about “Yippity-do-da” for Brandon Yip? (parody of “Zippity-do-da, zippity-a, my oh my what a wonderful day”). It could either be a good thing, like “GOAL!!!! Yippity-do-da!” or (more commonly this season) said with a heavy sarcasm, such as “Yippity-do-da, ANOTHER penalty”.

Feel free to shoot me down on this. But the bottom of the list said “Yippers” was a place holder, so I’m just throwing out ideas here.

Why does there have to be a nickname for Yip? Yip! It doesn’t get any shorter (TWSS).
And if he does something special every once in a while, a good old Yip Yip Yip Yip should be enough.

Yep. He posted video of Duchene’s awesome deke+goal during the pre-season and some douche bag Red Wings fans immediately responded that that was actually Datsyuk’s move and that he invented it back in the 1960s or something.

Extensive mocking then commenced.
