is it time to rename the act of pushing with your front foot?

I'm not fussed either way, but if we did....what would be the new name or term?

( if this subject has been tackled already mods please bin this thread )

sketchyrider · « **Reply #1 on:** September 17, 2020, 08:50:34 AM »

why, cause mongo is disparaging to the intellectually disabled??

i mean we could just stick with shit foot.

“Shit foot”, “piss pedal”, “wrong”...

i like the alternate term "penis pushing" as a fitting replacement for mongo

Nah let’s just keep it as mongo. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

breezer · « **Reply #5 on:** September 17, 2020, 09:14:03 AM »

the switch of terms to the 'Weddle grab' was a well received change..........mongo just feels a bit at odds with the times is all.

We should go with "the act of pushing with your front foot" or in short Frooty. Still sounds kind of ~~gay~~ eh i mean ~~homosexual~~ eh i mean offensive to the close-minded. Which would have been the idea of calling it mongo in the beginning i guess. At the same time it has a legitimate origin so it should be safe from sjw for the next 10 years.

I’ve always enjoyed hearing the term “shit foot,” even if I’ve rarely used it myself.
Gets my vote.
If we’re actually taking this seriously, that is.
Which, I presume, we are not.

Didn't even realize Mongo was short for M*ngoloid until this thread.

With that said, has the phrase gone so far from the original connotation that it's even connected even more? If you ask almost anybody who says it more than likely they wouldn't draw the connection either

Penis pushing is the first to come to mind for me also.

I like 'wrongo'

ChuckRamone · « **Reply #18 on:** September 17, 2020, 09:43:03 AM »

If you wanna get really technical, the term mongoloid is offensive on two levels by equating Down syndrome with looking Asian.

“Mongoloid” sounds like some sort of old-timey insult that pretentious white supremacist neck beards would use. Never heard anyone use it except that boring Devo song. Honestly I don’t really care one way or the other as long as we can call it something that accurately describes how stupid it looks to push with your front foot.

mall grab now renamed to shopping centre grab for the UK heads

Please stop

Sick_McCrank_ · « **Reply #23 on:** September 17, 2020, 10:23:36 AM »

the question remains: are mongols offended too?

Where I live the term mongo is used as an insult in general language aswell. at least when i was a kid.

When my ex heard it she thought it was the best thing ever. So anytime she saw someone pushing wrong she would roll down the window and yell “shit foooot!”

I also back wrong-o haha that one’s good

There is also: Chicken Foot and Front Foot of Fury.

I prefer to think I made it look good when I started, my friends strongly disagreed
