What's your best cry out when you have either lost or won a bout?

Shake ahnds and say "Good Job", or "Well Done" or anything like that...?

If I lose a bout badly, normally I'll throw my foil at the spectators, if there are any.

Real mature Bebop, I hope you were joking.

Silence. Much more dignified.

What!!! Yelling and/or slinging your foils at the audience isn't diginified?

[peircer]

After you lose, you take your mask off, smile, walk up to your opponent (still smiling) congratulate them, all very calm. Then when you're walking off you yell ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! at the top of your lungs. If you're really mad at yourself, repeat the yell occasionally for the next half hour. It's usually pretty funny to everyone because you were really sportsmanlike to your opponent. Not that I'dever do that...

Hmmm, well, my usual is something along the lines of "OPPPAYOHHH" or something weird, I've no idea. However, once, after a really great foil bout (wow, I barely remember foil) , last touch, all that, I let out this really long, high pitched howl...it was quite impressive, I thought. hehehe

[escrime chick]

My personal favorite was the first sabre bout I won: stop, look at the director, look at the box, look at the opponent, look at the director again, hear my team/coach yelling, THEN I yell "Oh yeah!" LOL
When I lose, turn around and yell "Aii!" and then come back (hopefully more dignified) to shake hands... I hate those little quiet yells that girls do that are supposed to be "lady-like" or something... honey, if you're going to yell, YELL!!
But as a general rule I don't tend to scream anything intelligible or recognizably from any langauge, b/c I just open my mouth and whatever comes out comes out... lol

[Sabresque]

My yell has been classified as a "shriek", and has been condemned by a bout commitee, and a lone ref at another tournament. When I'm trying not to get the whole venue mad at me with my yells during a bout, I do a softer "HUHpa-pa-pa-pa" sort of thing.

When I lose a bout, I tend to do an "Ay yay yay" ( phbttt, I can't remember how to spell that in english or spanish)

Oh sweet, sweet Eviette. A day never goes by where... (sniffle) ...I don't think about you. (sniff) I sometimes find myself daydreaming about you at work... your long beautiful hair... your eyes... your soft feminine figure... Why... I ask myself all the time? Why didn't I muster up the courage to... (sniffle) ...tell you my true feelings. And now... you have slipped from my fingers... never to see you again... WAAAAAAAA!!!

Usually a sort of under-my-breath muffled "F***!" Depending on the bout, it can be more or less muffled than normal... I had a semi-final epee bout that I was up 9-6 and then gave up 8 single light touches in a row. Doubled the last one for a 10-15 defeat, that wasn't very muffled...
