Olympic words that are weird for me:
Luge
Double dip
Axel
Euler
Salchows
Lutz
Mogul
Super G
Curling
Twizzler
Twisty
Butter
Slalom
Camel
Skeleton
I’m so confused.
This does not surprise me.
Axel
Salchows
Lutz
Camel
These are all used in figure skating. The first three are different jumps; the camel is a kind of spin.
If you lived someplace with a proper Winter you wouldn’t be so confused.
Meanwhile, the rest of the word doesn’t understand:
salt pond
red wolves
grits
hush puppies
gettin place
thirty aught six
parish
Oh, those are easy!!
btw, Denny thx for the 'possum pic and your thread
It’s not just the words that are bad.
It’s the whole concept—who ever thought up the idea of the luge? and especially the fricken two-man luge?
Skeleton is a weird name, but it’s a logical sport-- a fancy version of sledding, fun which everybody knows from their childhood…
But the luge? Huh?
Who the hell decided that sledding backwards is a good idea? …And then, to top it off, somebody decided that two grown men laying on top of each other would be even more fun.
It’s not just bad,bad,bad…It’s weird,weird,weird.
You forgot: corndog.

All of these are named after the people who first performed them. Camel, the odd one, was performed by Campbell, but it was misheard and then misspelled. The misspelling stuck.
