Hobby terms that annoy you

[carlsonjok]

I heard one that really grated on me when I was at the Dallas Show in March. I was working through a box of vintage commons and the modern dealer at the next table was talking about breaking a case and he called the case hits "the kabooms." I am not particularly fond of the calling the prime cards "hits" but I accept it since there probably isn't a better, concise term for those cards.

But, to hear a grown man call them "kabooms" was just grating. I can see it being common among pre-teens, what with their less-than-fully developed language skills. But an adult? Yeesh.

That’s actually the name of certain insert cards from Panini products.

Yep, as was said before that is the actual name of the case hit.
