"Ultimate Frisbee"

glennmagusharvey

Why do they call it "ultimate"?  What's so "ultimate" about it?  You can pretty easily make a much more infrastructure-heavy game based around frisbee-throwing anyway.

Discus.

Mainly because they want to appear cool, and a lot of the people who do it that I've met are twats.

Also I grinned.

Facepalmed.

Edmania,
[Glennmagusharvey said "discus" (i.e. a flying disc like a Frisbee) instead of discuss. At least, I think that was the joke.]

Oh.

-did not know of that word prior to this-

Hey, it's still a legitimate topic.  Ultimate Frisbee just seems to more like Somewhat Organized Frisbee, the same way that the Tower of Execution in Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness is more of a Tower of Mild Inconvenience.

i always think this sport is about macho fist pumping bros throwing chakrams at each other or something.

It should totally be about that.

Being in the boyscouts will get you sick of that silly game fast enough.

The team that I played with had a few jerks, but there weren't any dudebros (it was mostly nerds). That would be silly.

I think calling it "Ultimate" is stupid, though, and it wasn't that fun.

I actually do associate UF with "dudebros", as in my area of the American South this game is pretty much solely played by frat boys and those that we call "Prep-necks" (Rednecks who dress in khaki pants and polo shirts before going muddin'.)
