Ying Yang VS Cling Kong

[Domihatin]

Has nobody really ever told you that it is "Yin" Yang, not "Ying"?

I'm not talking about Yin & Yang; I'm talking about ying yang, which is a slang term for a goofball, silly person and also your "thingy". A penis to the layman. Didn't noone ever tell you that??? Haha.

It's not used anymore, but was very prevelant in the 80's and prior.

It should be Yangzilla vs Cling Kong

This explains the meanings:

Now my memories of the 80's comes flooding back more. I forgot about the usage as a term for one's butthole. As in "up the yingyang", but also an expression of lots and lots of something with "out the yingyang" or "up the yingyang". "She has money out the yingyang" or "stick it up your yingyang!" (An insult or similar to up YOURS).

But at the end of the article it also says it can mean penis and is a variation of ding dong.

I remember my parents saying people were yingyangs if they were particularly eccentric or wacked out or also called them "yahoos" pronounced with a long A vowel or with the aw sounds as in "yawn".

I also have heard this in various films of the 60's through the 80's.

Why would you want to nickname our player something synonymous with dick or asshole?

I don't want to nickname him that, it was purely because it rhymes with Cling Kong and would be a ridiculous nickname. The more I remember what that phrase/word means, the more absurd and insane the concept becomes, but also a bit weird that I was forgetting the meanings.

Ying rhymes with cling, therefore it's great! And the phrase ying yang, is a thing. Who cares if it has questionable meanings and references. It might work because someone of that size is probably proportionate, even if they are Asian, so I'm sure a big ying yang is probably present. Somebody have small stature like Jose Alvarado could probably be smacked in the forehead with that ying yang swinging on the court.

"Ying yang" most certainly is NOT a thing. Yin yang is however. And also no, it does not have "questionable meaning."

Oy vey! (that has meaning too!)

Did you read the Merriam Webster link? I guess not.

My thoughts on lesser competition is this. You have to dominate that competition to have a chance in hell of dominating the next level

assist/TO ratio was 0 3 to 3

for me it’s more eye test, how does he move, jump, good BBIQ, pass and shoot. Does he play with heart and give 110% all the time. Ayton actually passes a lot of these but downfall was heart and passion for winning.

While he looks awkward moving at times, definitely a concern the fact that a 7’ is doing quick spin moves, throwing lobs off the backboard to himself and making better passes than most PG’s.

I’m not saying he’s going to be a star but it’s possible. Been lots of guys that are overlooked, maybe we got lucky or maybe we have another Ha. I’m a gambler so I’m glad we took a risk

It's Yin Yang, not Ying Yang
Yin is water, Yang is fire.....I'm hoping for the "Yang" version

That's a Lao Tze Taoist proverb...one of my favorites.

Never before have I wanted to sit in on practices so much. The battles going on have got to be good!

 

[SharpesTriumph]

The Rim Yangster versus The Block Lobster

Come down to summer league next week. I’ll be there.

[Trailblazers76]

We had Dame Time, now it's,

Yang Time.

Since nickname ideas have been thrown around in this thread I thought I'd give my two cents.

Very good passer. Teammates are having to become more aware as the make a cut to the basket and make sure their head is turned.
Likes to operate out of the high post. Is looking to facilitate and get teammates open opportunities more than look for his shot right now.
Moves well. Not as good defensively as Clingan, but more fluid offensively. Not quite as big or strong as DC either, but seems a bit smoother.
Very good basketball IQ. Seems to understand things quite quickly and although not speaking a lot of English, seems to understand more than he speaks.
Not afraid to be physical although will need to continue to build strength.

 

[Pinwheel1]

That was fun to watch.

I wish. Not sure ill ever be able to make summer league. Anniversary is July 9th. We usually vacation for it, though we vacationed last week. So i cant miss work. Plus. Im not sure how well it would go over to go down to vegas alone considering the wifey allows me to have season tix already. Lol. She isn't into sports. One of the few things we don't have in common so i try not to push too hard on that line. Lol.

I don’t know. I just told my wife I’d like to go sometime and this just happened to be the year my nephew (Her sisters son) is playing in tournaments next week there also.
Just seemed like everything hit right and I’m getting close to retirement so if I’m going this is probably the best year money wise.

Well im also trying to get her to allow me to get a pool.
I need to pick my battles at the moment. Lol

You have some nice timing going on. If my wife had a relative or friend down there, it’s be a different story.
