Dr Commento's Stupid Internet Games 4.2 - "Whatchya me-call it?"

Posted by Manny Stiles
734 days ago


Easiest game to play in the history of Stupid Internet games:

I give you a sports term and you list all of the different things you've heard it called... Just list in comments what you call the "whatchya me-call it?" and any other names you have heard it called. Don't worry if you call it the same thing as anyone else, just give your answers.


today's "Whatchya me-call it?"

Home Run

What do you call a "Home Run"? Any/all answers are acceptable - as long as they are true.

List what you call a home run and any "nicknames" for a Home Run. Feel free to add names for different kind of homers as well ("Bombs" vs. "Drives") or real life examples, popular slang and colloquialisms for "Going Yard"

Please also add a Y or N to the following question in your response:

Have you ever hit a Home Run while playing a game of baseball with umpires requiring a helmet to be worn? Aluminum, Wood, Other Bat?


I am using this data for an upcoming article. Thanks!

A Home Run on my game is sometimes called a "bomb" or a "jack". For some reason. Homer is the obvious one.

Your personal fave was said to me personally once.

Also hurtful comments like: "that ball looks like an egg now", "That ball had to change it's watch, it went so far", "I think it's still going"

I almost forgot "moonshot"
