Bullets Forever Glossary

Player nicknames

• Agent Zero = A nickname for Gilbert Arenas coined by the Wizznutzz.
• Hibachi! = Another nickname for Gilbert Arenas which came about after he started shouting the term when he got hot from the field.
• Tough/Tuff Juice = A nickname for Caron Butler coined by former coach Eddie Jordan. There have been several debates over whether or not he should be called "Tough Juice" or "Tuff Juice" with no real conclusion.
• The Last Man Standing = Nickname given to Antawn Jamison for his ability to avoid the injury bug that has plagued the team the last two seasons.
• Bulletproof = Andray Blatche, for his ability to survive car jackings. Some have contested that a more suitable nickname that doesn't bring up those memories should be identified, but none has really stuck.
• Epic Vale, Kill Mode, Chee$e, Choppa = Nicknames for JaVale McGee. The first nickname was coined by Ball Don't Lie's J.E. Skeets, the next two came about as a result of this article, and the final one is the byproduct of having freakishly long arms.
  
• Taser = Nickname coined for Dominic McGuire by BF user Vanilla Gorilla. Whenever McGuire comes up with a block or a dunk, it's common to see someone say "Don't tase me bro!"
• Locksmith, Mister 50 = Nicknames for DeShawn Stevenson that have stuck, despite the fact that he hasn't lived up to his defensive reputation lately and he no longer shoots anywhere near 50%.
• Stewie = Nickname for Oleksiy Pecherov based on his resemblance to the character from Family Guy.
• The Potomac Rainmaker = Nickname for former Wizard and D.C. native Roger Mason Jr.
• Buck and Phil: Nicknames for the Wizards' TV announcers, Steve Buckhantz and Phil Chenier.
• Supernanny = Nickname for Mike James because of his appearance on the television show of the same name.
• Brenda = Derisive nickname for Brendan Haywood during the beginning of his career.  He's grown out of that as his game has matured, but you'll still see the nickname referred to from time to time.
• Note: There are other nicknames that float around, but most of them are just variant of their actual names that you should be able to deduce on your own.

Other terms/memes

• "Dagger!" = Steve Buckhantz's signature line whenever someone hits a buzzer beater.
• "My swag was phenomenal." - After hitting a buzzer-beating three against the Milwaukee Bucks, Gilbert Arenas uttered this classic phrase to reporters. Since it was first said, the quote has taken on a life of its own among Wizard fans.
• "I get buckets, son" = Oleksiy Pecherov's mantra. Basically everything that he's done since that point has involved someone making a joke by spoofing that phrase.
• "Monumental Air!" = What everyone shouts when Nick Young dunks.
• "Quality Shots!" = Phrase that Gilbert Arenas uses when he gets hot from the field.  The phrase originated in response to a claim by Kobe Bryant that he didn't take many quality shots when he scored 60 against the Lakers.
• Palace of Good Play = Term used by interim coach Ed Tapscott to avoid saying that someone's in the doghouse.
• Alex Ovechkin = The scruffy guy with the missing front tooth sitting in the front row at most Wizards games.  You may see him around the Verizon Center in another capacity.
• "No Your Roll" = Phrase that former Bullet Ledell Eackles wrote on a whiteboard to fire his teammates up during a meeting, as chronicled by Jack MacCallum in Seven Seconds or Less. If you remember anything about Eackles' days as a Bullet, that last sentence probably didn't phase you.
• I can't feel my face = The name for DeShawn's hand-waving celebration after making a three-pointer.  You can read more about it here.
• Crab dribble = LeBron James' justification for traveling.  Whenever you see someone talk about LeCrab or the Crabaliers, it goes back to this incident.
• LeBron is overrated = Claim made by DeShawn after a close win over the Cavaliers late in the 2007/08 season.  Even though no one really believed Stevenson's claim, it made for plenty of fodder for the playoff series later that year.
• Mike James is humble = No really, he is.  Just ask him and he'll tell you all about it.
• Sr. Prolopo = Name for high-energy low post players that fall to the second round and end up being solid contributors for their team. You can read more about it here.
