Another funny taunt I heard yesterday.

Someone gave me a short serve and asked innocently me "why don't you just hit it?"
I said: "it was too far, I couldn't reach it." :p

I know it's not the proper etiquette but in recreational games, I can't it help it sometime.

Me to bighook: MAN, that's a pansy-a$$ novice shot! :D

Almost before he killed off my floater-drop!

in regards to my opponents smashes
"i thought you were going to hit it alice"
just a little poke at people with less speed.

After driving a friend's smash straight back at him, I said to him "Why don't you hit it with your hand bag next time?"

When flicking back an opponent's smash (doubles match), I made an exclamation as if it was a real effort to get back the smash. The opponent hit 2 such smashes in a row and I made two such exclamations. On the third smash, I calmly did a backhand cross court soft block return winner to the forecourt corner that the front player couldn't reach.

So my taunt was a couple of grunts and a defensive winner, No words needed :D

You sound like Han. Han yells a lot when he plays. Here's something he says, "Hup...hup...hup!!"

A kid I had just finished playing said come on give me a better game.I replied "It's kind of hard to top 15 love 15 love.".Dave[wood 22 chuck] I remember you also saying that while watching your net shot getting crosscourted while you stood there in disbelief.Lets see for comebacks there was also "where is your skirt Dave so we can play mixed doubles?" and "I see your wearing your kevlar vest again Dave" and last but not least "Lets see a little more wiggle with that jiggle Dave".I had another friend who had let himself go whom I said "Are you having twins or triplets".Here is a few quotes from people I have played and enjoyed "I hate it when you don't smash "and "You always make me run" .This one just got me silly as it was from the girl who later got my position as coach at the college where I was let go from for not being able to produce national badminton champions.Just as we were about to start a game she turned around and asked me "where should I stand ?". Anyways Dave don't forget your your vest. :D

(Recreational Doubles) We win the draw to start the game, it's 11-0 and I'm still serving the first serve. Then I say: "You guys wanna start over the game or proceed to 15-0 ?" :D

When myself and another guy play, I always shout very loudly (normally the other 5 courts turn round and look to see what is happening) "Come on Bob, give it some!" by far the best time to shout is when he is just about to hit a massive smash, timing is everything as they say :D

There are two replies when you are being beat badly, after the game has finished and you are shaking hands you should either say "general lack of interest!" or "thanks for the knock up, fancy a game?"

Another way to wind up the oponents is after the game has finished and you are shaking hands say "thanks ladies" even if you are playing gents or mixed doubles, always a winner.

I can't resist saying "Well left!" to a player who has either been completely wrong footed by my deceptive shot but the shot goes out, or a player who plays at the shuttle and completely missed but the shuttle landed out.

Kind of like that when you send someone the wrong way is "where were you going?" when they have that what did he just do look about them. ;)

i usually give my opponent a smile before the serve, even though i am down by a few and had just lost the previous rally. when getting smashed on i sometimes yell "i could have gotten that" even though i was no where near it.:D

If a good shot lands in and the oposition call it out, I normally just turn round and say "yes it was out, out of your reach" :D

If the opponents have just smashed into the net I usually stand there with my racquet out and say "I had it covered anyway".:p

When I hit a desperation return and the opponent hits it into the net I say "Thanks I couldn't have done it without you.".When the opponent hits one of those shots that hit the net and just rolls over shots I sometimes say "You've been going to church again haven't you".When I hit a desperation return high and the opponent kills it I say "A litttle higher next time be better for you?".When I am playing with a much weaker partner and my opposition is constantly hitting everything to or at my weaker partner or if my partner is having a bad day and constantly hitting everyting into the net sometimes I will say "No fair 3 against one".When a kill shot is available with both of us out of position and the opponent hits it way outside I say "The barn is this way " pointing at the court.When my partner tries hitting the same shot off the serve for the 5th time into the net I say "that horse has been dead a long time already".When my partner hits another halfcourt serve after unsuccessfully trying it for the 5th time and eating it"They have a word for that it's called suicide".When my opponent says I came close to getting you I reply " Close only counts in horseshoes and grenades ".When my opponent changes his mind on a call "conscience got to you huh?"

When I am playing with a much weaker partner and my opposition is constantly hitting everything to or at my weaker partner or if my partner is having a bad day and constantly hitting everyting into the net sometimes I will say "No fair 3 against one".
in that situation, i usually say: "hey! i want to play too!"

I usually go get a chair bring it to the back line sit on it and say "continue"

I always say that to old timers who claimed they're good, but I played better. :D

when ur on a rly one sided game where ur winning, every time a rally ends start shouting "YAAA!!!!! LETS GO!!!!!!!!! ALRITE!!!!!!!!!!!" even if u lose.
when ur off the court and ur feeling like a jerk and see a couple new players, go up to them and say "hey kids, can i play?"
when u fake a shot and have ur opponent running towards the net, lift it to his backhand and shout "where the heck were u driving to?"

"HEY YOU JOKERS I GOT NEXT HERE ON THIS COURT!"

Drop shots:

1. Don't drop-leh! You drop...drop...some more, tomorrow the stock market drops...you know!

2. Your drop shot pretty cruel..eh?

Freaky shots:

1. Sorry that's an accident shot...

2. The shuttle is "cartoon" man!

Me: Does a net drop, that doesnt' go over the net. (hasn't given the opponent the birdie yet)
Opponent: Thank You
Me: wut the....(gives opponent birdie)
Opponent: smashes into the net
Me: gets an idea...THANK YOU!!!!!!
Opponent: Pissed off
Opoonent: smashes and I miss. Thank You
Me: Your welcome (mwhahahaha)

That is probably the first time I really attempted to taunt the opponent. My partner and I beat them of course, that sure was a fun game :D

Hmm. Most of these taunts seem rather, well......

Lame

Perhaps badminton doesn't lend itself to taunts.

You can have the serve first so that way you can't say I at least gave you one chance to score a point.
Are you warmed up or worn out?
How do you want the game to go?Quick and painless or long and many miles to go?
This is the beginning of the end.
After the first point I say "one of many to come".
Perhaps you should consider tiddly winks.
You mean I"m supposed to not get that shot?
After killing a half court lift "You can't hit what you can't see".
I think I smell a skunk coming (15 love)

whenever u smash and miss someone, ask ur partner if u hit him. when he says no, shout DAM!!
lol i got a senior on ma skool team, whenever he sees a winning netshot he runs over like a girl, tips it over and then starts running around the gym like a little girl :D. he does the laugh pretty good too.
just to be a real idiot, shout WAZAAAAA in a high voice rite before u serve in singles. go back for a smash or clear and start making karate sounds. whenever they smash at u, lift ur non-racket leg up while saving the shot and shout WAZAAAAAAAAAA again XD

After a Double game at one of the recreational gym, another men double came into to play and I told them that this was the Double court not Mix double. I knew the guys of course.
