Slang for "did really well" :-) 2025

Fish Chris reply :

So, earlier today I was at the bank, and the teller (who knows me, and what I do on most of my days off) asks, "So, did you catch any fish on your days off" ? To which, without really thinking, I replied, "Yea, I whacked em' :-) LOL

She kind of laughs, and says, "So I guess that means you caught a bunch of fish" ?

I guess I could have said;

I sleighed them,

I ripped them {sometimes followed by, "a new one" ;D

I destroyed them,

I tore them up

I hammered them {or to some of my buddies "the $### out of them" :-)

I smashed them,

I killed them,

I murdered them,

What else ???

How do you guys usually describe what you did to the fish, after a good trip ?

Just curious,

Fish

bigtimfish reply :

slaughtered,busted em up

mattm reply :

killed em

and

caught em pretty good

depends on how many beers i've had.

DawsonH reply :

Ripped their lips.

Wore them out.

Wore ourselves out.

They gave up and started jumping in the boat.

They started turning themselves in.

We buried ourselves in fish.

Loaded the boat.

Got 'em one after the other.

Eddie Munster reply :

Three possible responses depending on how I did:

Lot of fish = 'did pretty good'

Several fish = 'did okay'

Barely any = 'just a couple dinks'

If I caught something huge though I pull out the cellphone and they get to see a picture of it.

K.Russ reply :

Tore um up.

fourbizz reply :

i too use the whacked em phrase

Mattlures reply :

If I have an epic day or catch a monster I say "yeah I caught a couple trout" or bluegill or little cats Or I say "Nope couldnt get any"

If I do realy good I say "caught a couple"

If I did ok I say "caught a couple little ones"

If I did poor I say "It was real tough"

Now when I talk to a friend who bailed out or couldnt go I actualy tell them what I caught and rub it in hard. Unless of course it sucked and then I dont call them to report. Ha ha

Actualy I find myself using the Caught a couple little ones for most inquiries

islandbass reply :

Nailed 'em!

Bassin_Fin@tic reply :

Uncle Leo reply :

The skunk is dead, then I smile. ;D

smdono reply :

I just say, "I skanked them"

Willzx225 reply :

"kicked their teeth in"

"Caved their head in"

B*tch slapped them

they were puking

"Had to lay down in the bottom of the boat to tie my bait on so they wouldn't take it out of my hand" <--- My personal favorite ;D

On tournament day - "I had a good day" or "We caught a few"

I have heard this term used frequently. It is not used in the context you are thinking of. By definition it can also mean to plunder or pillage. It may not be the best choice depending on who you are speaking to, but amongst friends I do not see a problem with it.

yeah i agree with walz. i think its also a regional thing. Like here in jersey we use it for a lot of things. Like "Them senkos are raping this lake" or "we just got done Hawg rapin"

Muddy reply :

I understand your point, but it still is in very bad taste.

Just understand that your words might be heard by someone who can easily misinterpret the meaning (or worse, someone who has had it happen to them or a loved one).

Basically, you just dont know who is going to hear it. If the attitude is, "I dont really care who hears it," then prepare yourself for whatever you get back....

The three words I dislike the most , that the Kids on our center use so casually are

Rape,Pimp and the N word.

It's a youth thing. I try not to say it too often but I find myself saying it occasionally, never around anybody other than my friends though. Out of context it does sound inappropriate though so I understand why you found it offensive which is why I don't say it very often.

Bass_Akwards reply :

I use the term CRUSHED or CRUSHING a lot. As in "We were crushing them today."

I use MASHED a lot as well. or "MASHING" As in "We MASHED them last night"

I also will use DOMINATED. As in "I freaking dominated those bass tonight"

SPEEDBEAD. reply :

No harm, no foul fellas.

Really just trying to give you a heads up, figuring it might sound a little more reasonable coming from someone who is relatively ( :) close to your age. Take it for what it's worth.

As for the slang, it's typically "Wore them out" or "Load the boat" after we have left the lake.

While on the lake, usually the response will be "A couple"

Muddy reply :

Hey Speedbead: How would you knw what to call a good day? ;D :

J-B reply :

We hung'em good or,

didn't catch ****.

bass wrangler569 reply :

Oh, and as far as the question...

I say "I whacked 'em" or "I crushed 'em" or "I loaded the boat"

If I have a good bag at a tourny weigh in and somebody asks, I usually say "I have a few" followed by a subtle wink

At the ramp all of the above sounds good, at the tackle shop depends who I'm talking to; caught a few works most of the time, blanked if a tournament guy is within hearing distance.

smdono reply :

i dont feel the word rape and fishing go together no matter what the context.

J Francho reply :

Depending on the context, the word rape could be a noun or a transitive verb, with definitions ranging from a seed, a sex crime, a robbery, to literally "carrying away."

I don't think we're referring to seeds or sex crimes when using the word in the context of fishing.

I never said it was in good taste, and I personally don't use the term. I am just saying I hear it from time to time and can understand how it is used in this context. Just the way words like destroyed, killed, and murdered can be.

Tell ya what then....

Next time you finish a project at work and your boss tells you that you did a good job, make sure you say, "Yes sir, I sure raped that one!!"

Take a pic of the look on his face and try and explain to him that he took it out of context.

Lol. He did put 'slang" in the title and a lot of slang is not necessarily politcially correct.

Anyway, I never even actually answered the question. Most of what I use has already been said, but how about "They were practically jumpin' in the boat".

Not trying to argue with you flechero because I'm usually a fan of yours, but it's considered socially acceptable to say "I murded the bass" so how is raped any different. Both are heinous crimes, and "raped" can have multiple less-offensive meanings, such as pillaged, whereas "murded" has one clear meaning. Most likely when people first started saying "I murded this" or "I murded that," it was considered offensive, but then it gradually became accepted as appropriate slang. I think "raped" might be the same way, and gradually it will either die out or be accepted as an acceptable slang word. I'm nor saying this is right and I'm not advocating saying "raped" but I don't see how there's any difference between saying "I murded the bass" and "I raped the bass"

mase088 reply :

Normally after a tournament I'll ask things such as:

Were you on em?

You whack em?

I have also heard "waxed" in place of "whacked"

Lucky Craft Man reply :

I tell people that "I knocked the S*@# out the socket" and they have no idea what I am even talking about. It's great to see their reaction.

J Francho reply :

Anyway....I don't use the word "rape" to describe anything fishing. When I do well, I usually say, "We smoked them!"

And it used to be "accepted" that you could publicly flog people or own them as property.

This isnt going anywhere.

I will say this: The day that "raping" something (even in the most benign meanings) becomes socially acceptable will be a sad day for society, indeed.

Marc David reply :

Guys, let's try to keep this on topic It doesn't seem like it's going anywhere

Good Day= We killed them

Slow Day= We lipped a few

"Stinkin' pretty" for a real good day. "The skunks outta the boat" for a day with a few, and "skunked" for the day with zero.

Muad Dib reply :

slayed em....

took it to em....

my favorite. we hammered em

Pitchinkid reply :

Depends whos asking and how well we are doing. If its another angler and we are killing them, usually say " we caught 1 or 2" In a tournament and talking to another boat and we only got 2 fish. "We got probably 18 lbs."

CJ reply :

Yeah situation dictates. I been known to be humble and say," it's a little slow". But normally I use the same as Chris and Bizz and say I whacked em!

If we all agreed on everything this would be a boring site.

IMO, there is a big difference between socially acceptable and right. I don't like watching network tv and hearing cuss words either. Having had a close friend that was raped and knowing another that was murdered makes me a little more uptight about it than most, probably...

Although, I think the phrases murdered 'em, killed 'em, etc. started back when few were into catch and release so at least there was some truth to it at one time.

Paul Roberts reply :

"Hammer'd 'em." or "Put the hammer to 'em."

Now I'm more apt to say, "I'm on 'em."

T-2000 reply :

"Hooked up with some fatties."

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

Remember, I'm looking for 1 fish so ....

"Found her" is what I used last night and hopefully again tonight

Tim Ford reply :

it's either:

"tore 'em up"

"wore 'em out"

Sorry. I know those are both pretty generic and boring, but it works for me.

Muddy reply :

I heard a new form of denial yesterday while fishing. I met a fella who keeps his boat right next to mine where we fish, we share some info. We were by the ramp and a guy asked him how they were biting ( the guy had a wonderful day) His answer

If I was a seal I would be starving today ;D

I work daily with many young women who have suffered and rape and I can tell you all without exception cringe when they here stuff like this. Take your official definition and put in it school where it belongs. In the real every day world this term is rude and unacceptable
