Slogans
From PubNight
Slogans, in the technical sense used here, refer to the subclass of announcements made by the scorer whenever a player passes a particular landmark. They should never (or, according to some authorities, always) be confused with gambits. For the canonical "first to one hundred" (with or without bounceback) game these are:
Score | Announcement | Status |
Silly Sound effect |
12½ | You've dipped your map | Disputed | Splish-splash1 3 |
25 | You've singed your map | Disputed |
Shhhhshshshshs1 3 |
50 | You've got your tin hat off | Canonical |
Clang!!!2 |
75 | That's your mess-tin | Established | Rattle-rattle4 |
90 | That's your waterbottle | Established |
Flobble-flobble1 5 |
Additional scores on longer games include Albatross ("Eargggh"), Kin Il Sung and Yom Kippur but details of when and why these are applied are lost in an alcoholic fuzz.
Notes:
- 1 : Rather than a sound effect, James would tap his beer glass with a biro at this stage
- 2 : Rather than a sound effect, James would knock his beer glass over with his biro.
- 3 : Nick does not acknowledge this score, nor issue a sound effect
- 4 : Nick prefers "Wheeeeeee ....... Clunk!"
- 5 : Nick prefers "Wheeeeeee ....... Splosh!"
