MR | Yes. 
So, shouldn't this really be titled "The Wanker Thread"?  |

| Despite already posting here, I kind of agree with Inq. People shouting really, really loud annoys me deeply. Taking it a bit TOO seriously... However, it's allowed in a final, or the olympics.

| Generally silent, but:
Bad: "Oy" or "No" or "Stupid, stupid, stupid" (repeat as required)
Good: "Yes!!!" or "Ah ha!" The later is generally as the hit lands, not after the halt.

| Funniest ones I ever heard were (1) a sabre fencer from China who would conclude a successful touch with a long---and I mean at least 12-syllable---phrase in his native tongue ( I assume ) followed by "HAHAHA!", and (2) an American sabre fencer who after every touch would thump his chest with his free fist and declaim "BOW wow wow!" ( I was severely tempted to reply with "WOOF woof woof!" ) | |

| No, Inq, the proper response would have been "Yippie-yo, yippie-yay".

| A loud "Hhhoa" but the director in my bout stopped the match and asked,
"Did you say halt?" - I don't yell "hoa" anymore during a tournament, just at
the club.

| normally i am quiet.. except for the occasional "excuse me sir, please can you make her straighten her blade, it is bent far past the legal limit" or somthing like that.. beacuse often they allow a meat hook to be used to fence with and thats cheating and painful!!!!
but when i make a noise its "STOPLOOKINGATMACHINE STUPID" followed by smacking myself in the head.. or "stop telling me to parry riposte!!!ITS NOT WORKING!!!" (to my team) or.. yesterday i just kinda screamed.. before the on gaurd.. after the director made his decision.. but it was the only way to get myeself to be able to breath again...
one time i growled at my director after a bad call.. she didn't like me much after that bout.. and.. lately.. there has been a lot of "can'tbreath!cannotbreath!somthignwrong!!!!!!! " but thats new... | |

| Usually I don't say anything, I just turn around and head back to the starting line because I intend to do it again. Sometimes it's due to lack of breath.
Occasionally I will do the Boris Karloff laugh, or my Darth Vader impersonations when I am fencing some of the cockier teens at the club.

| I don't usually scream. If I do, it's more like:
HURG! (sharp "r", not american, not rolled (russian) either)
Sounds rather barbaric, but goes especially well with a corps a corps.

| HAH!, if it's mine, "Stop doing stupid!" elsewise.
I remember one foilist who made a deep gutteral grunting sound while squatting down after each successful touch. Looked (and sounded) like he had bowel problems | |

| I rarely vocalize; if I do, it's usually a quiet hiss or a sharp expellation of breath.
Or, far too often, "Ow!" | |

| I've recently gotten into the habit of going "ahhhhhh" whenever someone gets a good touch on me. So it sounds like I'm in pain. Then my opponent goes "I'm sorry" and I go "oh, no, it didn't hurt, I was just mad because I lost the touch." and my opponent and the director look at me funny. I'ma try to break that... | |

| My little sister got the oppertunity to watch me fence in a tourny this weekend. I got two comments: "I like it when you yell," and "I like you socks!" (Navy blue. She said that was how she knew it was me...something about bland lack of color. She said fencers with colored socks are more interesting. *Warns sister to duck Inq's fierce attack against color AND noise*) She said that the fencers yelling helps her interpret the action. The ref's calls don't help her, as she is still fencing illiterate. Hmmm....

This was a degenerative product of his reduction in generally creativity compared to the much earlier "Doggystyle" LP (1993, BMG Music Entertainment) with such "it's-the-90's" pseudo-classics as "Gin and Juice" and "Who am I/What's my Name".
At least I think so. Maybe he was just getting past his peak.
