This is what the average person thinks of when the think of a âyoyoâ
This is why I hate and never âtellâ people I yoyo. Anyone that knows I yoyo knows because Iâve âshownâ them.
I sometimes wish this thing had a different name. It is difficult to take a word like âyoyoâ seriously, and at my age, telling anyone Iâve been buying yoyos merely draws looks that say, âAre you joking?â If it had a more modern, techy sounding name like gyroshell or something, then maybe it would sound as cool as it actually is.
Haha I love it
What the average YOYOER thinks:
I donât like how thatâs what the average yoyoer thinks either to be honest
Whatâs wrong with the shutter?
Iâve told my close friends that I yo-yo and theyâre actually impressed that I can do all the complicated tricks. Iâve even showed them videos of pro yoyoers. I donât know what they thought when they heard âyo-yo.â One of them learned how to bind when I showed him.
Excellent idea!
Call them Bandalores.
Iâd like to see that yoyo in use by Ed Haponik, Drew Tetz, Jensen Kimmett⌠others. I think many would be in for a shock watching them pull tricks off with that.
How bout we call them trick revolvers
Idk, might be better to just stick with yo-yo. If you use another term, then youâll have to explain it, and when they figure out youâre basically calling a yo-yo by another name theyâre just gonna think youâre an elitist hipster lol
Nooooo! Iâm not a hipster. Lol
OrâŚreturn top!
Return top is ⌠a really bad turn of phrase to my ear. How is a yo-yo remotely related to a spinning top??
I like âhand gyroscopesâ personally, if you want to sound xxtra fancy
Maybe a yo-yo can be named by its features. Kinda like how the Grind Machine grinds really well, so itâs named Grind Machine.
Iâm not ashamed of saying yoyo to anyone. But like another response here: donât tell people you yoyo, show them. It doesnât have to be some elaborate performance⌠just something more than an up and down and they will most likely see something theyâve NEVER seen before. Let them feel the throw you use. Itâll be a wake up for them. If theyâre not impressed just tell them theyâre stupid and give them the silent treatment for several weeks. They wonât be surprised by your childlike behavior because only children play with yoyos.
âGyroshellâ
Team, weâve found it!
Then you pull out a modern unresponsive and proceed to blow their mind
