Anacortes Ultimate Points Naming

I've been playing ultimate frisbee here in Anacortes for, gosh, over 10 years now? (Tuesdays 6:30 @ Smiley's bottom except in late Sept and Oct when we go up to Storvik for lights. Join us!) It is a great way to get out and get some exercise and it's a total hoot to boot!

For that last year or so, we've been trying to compile names for every possible combination of points in hopes of us being able to remember the score better between points. It all started with the Richard Nixon Point when the score was 2 to 2. From there, it just exploded. Here's is my attempt to preserve, for posterity, the official Anacortes Ultimate Frisbee points naming conventions. Hopefully they will get picked up internationally and beyond!

Oh, and it should go without saying that yes I realize these are incredible nerdy. Like uber nerdy. But I'm okay with that.

Score	Name	Explanation (if necessary)
0-1	Baby point	Among the more crude explanations. Requires a bit of a visual.
1-1	Oh, deer	fingers look like horns
1-2	Jack Black	opposite of Blackjack
2-1	Blackjack
2-2	Richard Nixon	I am not a crook
3-1	Blastoff!	"Three to one..."
3-2	Wii	When held up on the fingers, it looks like a "W" and two "i"s
4-2	Jackie Robinson	Was the universe point, but that's already a thing
4-0	High	Four to zero = 420 = pot smokers' bingo!
3-3	Forest	"threes" sounds like "trees"
5-0	Po po	Do you smell bacon? I smell bacon.
4-4	Star Wars	May the fours be with you
4-5	7-inch	Record speed/size
5-5	Mime	When holding up two open hands, it can look like you are a mime hitting a wall

I might be forgetting a few, and I know new ones will crop up. If you feel so inclined, contribute below. Whoop!
