Jargon - PLEASE Don't do it!
I am glad to see another metal detecting show on TV, really I am, but come on. The nonsensical phrases and words these detector guys are using make me want to bury them in the ground. As if that , "Boom Baby" wasn't already bad enough, this ridiculous, "Nic in the poc", "Nectar in the hole", "Roundage" "Civ", "Rev", "Colongne" and all of that other nauseating crap is something those two need to keep to themselves. I am truly having to bite my tongue to keep from calling these knuckleheads what I really think of them and all of their juvenile names. As a gold prospector I saw the same kind of thing creep into the prospecting world. Suddenly it went from, "Found anything?" "Well I've got a little flour gold in the pan." to everybody ALWAYS having some "color" in the pan. That was one guy's simple term that went what they call viral these days, and suddenly everybody has color in their pan. That wasn't so hard to deal with, but these two guys and their apparent inability to finish saying a word has led to some of the most ridiculous jargon ever. "G in the hole" means gold in the hole, or, "I found some gold." They are both just as easy to say. G and gold are both single syllable, and it's not that hard to complete the word gold is it? Anyway, if you are out detecting with me and I hear one of those stupid words being used, I am going to bury your A in the D.
