methinks some volleytalkers have a much higher opinion of this site's actual influence on anything beyond electrons and made up names Amen to that. |

A post on Jordan Larson got me thinking. Volley Talk has had an influence on the verbage that is now used regularly by fans. I’ve heard people at games refer to Nebraska’s players as’ the ‘women of corn.’I know that phrase began on Volley Talk. What other phrases has Volley Talk had an influence on? Has Volley Talk had an influence on the general culture of volleyball today. This one will be fun... "Reverse Sweep" and go... nope. Not a VT thing. Been said for years before I heard it on here. VT just brought to light as not liking it |

I initially read this as "couture" and I was wondering where I could snag some VT gear. I've been watching too much QE lately. New season recently dropped. Or…it could’ve been an article about the Jacksonville head coach. 😏 |

How about we twist this thread towards what a good volleyball team culture should be. My DD sat in on a practice yesterday with another 1s team from her club. She was shocked that even though they had really good players at every position, brought together they were "beige", "like a team of sloths" that had no leaders, no energy, no communication. So that is bad culture...how would you describe an ideal team culture? Any takers?

If this is a thread talking about what VT commonplace culture/ practices are then all I have to say is
YALL USE WAY TOO MANY DAMN ACRONYMS
FIFY, IIRC, FWIW, etc
Please just stop, I hate it I hate it I hate it. Spell out your words.
Respectfully.

There's nothing cultured about sizzling the pits.

Wait till we get our Hames on you? I think that was invented on Volley Talk Or possibly a NIL promotion picked up by VT. A which came first chicken or egg discussion. |

If someone could finally explain wtf “DD” means then maybe the Doomsday Clock would turn back half an hour Typically means "dumb/dumber", but in the context used was more likely "dear daughter". No offense intended, just having fun. The post seemed legit, but the DD observations were based on a single practice. Maybe a bad day. Or maybe DD needs to seek a better club. |

Who knew there'd be so many Double-Ds in Volleyball?

methinks some volleytalkers have a much higher opinion of this site's actual influence on anything beyond electrons and made up names There were a number of culturally significant phrases which were coined by VT posters and became prominent throughout society thanks to the initial use on VT. Here's a partial list: Reverse Sweep. Gotta' Win by Two. Twenty-three Skidoo. Bigly. Shiver me timbers. Women of Corn. Corn Ladies. Corn Gals. Corn Pop. Cash me outside, how 'bout dat? Really big shew. I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. Cupcakes. We're goin' five! GTFO. STFU. Holiday is an idiot. Stats are frozen. Yo, yo, yo, sup? I don't know who this is. I will shut down this forum if you people can't behave. Let's go, Brandon. That ball was out. Khat-gate. Yellow submarine. Twerking. Bite me. Krackalacka. And I'm sure there are others. |

NIL holdover. I made it up last summer but I just said it out loud for the first time, right now.
