I don’t call myself anything, I just say “I like to play with yoyos.”

I go by many names, Bigfoot, I’ve heard Sasquatch or Sas if we’re close, Yeti, Abominable, Gigantopithecus, someone who plays with yoyos.

Tangentially, I recently discovered that some flashlight enthusiasts refer to flashlights as “throwers”. I imagine there must be many other niche hobbies that involve throwing of some kind.

Oh, this is supposed to be a fun/happy place, you very much don’t want to know what I call myself….

Oh you mean yo-yo wise? I don’t bring it up and if someone spots my throw I just say I dabble. A dabbler if you will.

Lately at work ive had people call me an accident waiting to happen, or say when you going pro jokingly.

To the first i say the accident already happened and a yoyo to the face with a plastic isnt too bad.

To the second i just tell them to look up world champions playing and theyll understand how impressive those guys are lol
