Shuttlecock anyone?

Shuttlecock anyone?

The name shuttlecock is frequently shortened to shuttle; it may also be known as a bird or birdie. The abbreviation cock is rarely used except in a jocular sense, due to its sexual connotations. The "shuttle" part of the name was probably derived from its back-and-forth motion during the game(badminton,) resembling the shuttle of a loom; the "cock" part of the name was probably derived from the resemblance of the feathers to those on a cockerel.

Thoughts?

played it a few times.

Neh

I love badminton.

Badminton is the shittest sport ever awecreep

I LOVE badminton! I'd take you all downtown.

Good passtime. Bad sport

One of my favorite sports. It is usually underestimated, but to all who didn't play elite level, let me tell you it takes a hell of a cardio, matched with a hell of a technique.

I suck at badminton.

Obviously you're not a golfer.

I totally agree. In junior high, my badminton partner and I won the final tournament in p.e. class.

I think a certain someone is bored.

Oh, that line about golf, it was just an excuse to use a quote from "The Big Lebowski."

I would take YOU DOWNTOWN.

I am pretty good at Badmington, too.

God I wish we could start a real league, and like meet up once or twice a week and we could all compete and then socialize afterwards. But we can't because of like how far we live from one another and the ocean and stuff. 😬

Meh

Chuttlesock.

I love badminton...I haven't played it in a few years though.
