Do you use wrestling terminology in real life?

[Sephiroth]

I find myself dropping some phrases on a semi-regular basis. Case in point, if I make a joke and no one laughs I will say "Man, i'm getting no-sold here!" I've also privately referred to my employers sometimes making "heel turns."

[willywonka666]

no sold & cheap pop comes to mind

[sebulba]

Definitely.
How sad it it that a grown man such as myself will 'put over' how awesome my wife looks, will complain that she 'no-sells' my jokes, accuse my youngest son of 'turning heel' when he sulks or 'job' to something that gets the better of me?

[SHAKEMASTER TV9 is Don Knotts]

I use heel, no sell and get over. Probably some others.

[Blindkarevik]

I use "no sold", "gone heel", and "going over" a lot.

[beamanhogan]

I use all of the following terms:

Jobber
Jobbed
Cheap Pop
Heel
High risk maneuver
Vince McMahon Screw Job

[Deleted]

I use "brother" and "what a heel!" when I'm with my friends.

[Lila]

Yep. All the above are ones I use.

[HMARK Center]

Guess I'm the odd one out.

Don't think I really ever do.

[King Ghidorah]

Yup, I forget no one else knows that the hell I'm talking about though.

[Demented]

"No sold" & "selling" are the ones I use the most.

And I say "Yes! Yes! Yes!" whenever something good happens.

[Push R Truth]

No Sold, Jobber, Cheap Pop and Slobberknocker



The best part is that I've never had anybody question what they mean. Although those particular terms are very easy to figure out due to context. And slobberknocker just sounds like a fighting term even without context.

[willywonka666]

Oh I thought of one my brother and I would use when we are ABSOLUTELY sure of something-it is a "Vince McMahon Guarantee"

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

often, but only among people who know what I'm talking about.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Yep. Anytime somebody gets shown up or embarrased, they got "jobbed out"

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

"Mark-out" and "job", but that's about it and it's pretty rare.

[Hit Girl]

Quite often

[agent817]

I remember referring to the popular crowd at school as "main eventers." I kid you not on that one.

[Ishmeal Loves Kaseyhausen]

I do a lot, but it just confuses people. When someone is being a dick I'm always like"what a heel!" And I say "spoiler alert!" a lot, but that's used a lot outside wrestling, too.

[darthalexander]

I've used them a few times and I end up getting blank stares and a "what?" from people.
