All-Star Im Writing An Essay About The Way Cheerleaders Talk Help

[Riley Stock]

i need examples of things like "what's the tea?" Phrases that make no sense to outside people, but seem perfectly normal to people like us.
PLEASE RESPOND ASAP!

 

[GreenStormLucy]

Hit, hit, hit - pull?
I'm sure none of my not-cheer related contacts would know what i'm talking about :-D

 

[Babs]

pull your positions

 

[cheermeup]

Fierce.

Read VoiceOver threads.

 

[Mamarazzi]

HYS, Miss Hunnay, "that's a deduction."

 

[CheerBank]

Guam, nuggeting in the back, Meesh.

 

[IzzyFierce]

I mean, even cheer terms like scorpian, skater, needle, etc... normal people look at me like WUT. XD

"FIERCE."
"WORK"
Saying something was a "hot mess"

I'll think of more through out the day, Im sure, ahha

"Full out"
"Panther party"
Naming any of the cheerlebrities/big name gyms
I know there are more I just have to think about them.... Spring floor vs dead mat, when I talk about a "tumbl trak"...

 

[BuegeSmalls]

Cheerlebrities.
I'm sure when some people see that word on twitter they assume its a typo.

 

[WC_obsessed]

F5orDie
Teal Army
Orange Crush

-The tea
-Claws Out
-Top Gun
-Miss Hunnay
-Snap for the Queens
-Hit Hit Hit Pull
-Only counting up to 8
-Names of tumbling passes

[IzzyFierce]

wut's that?

Skater = scale.

 

[MyGirlCheers]

A lot of cheer terms are taken from the GLBT/drag community, too.
What's the tea, let's have a kiki, hot mess, etc. were all popular there first.

That might be an interesting angle to focus on.

A few weeks ago I was talking to some parents in the gym when I heard a mother tell her tiny age daughter "Hurry up! Take your pants off, get your shoes on, and get out there!"

At that moment I thought of how the gym is one of the only few places that phrase would ever seem to make sense.
