A Beerism can be one of two things.

• A word or phrase to describe something that happens regularly in the Beers universe or
• A Beers Basketball Club rule

Here’s our list of current Beerisms.

---

Adrenalin Challenge
To drink every drink on the now defunct Adrenalin Bar’s happy hour menu, before happy hour ended. Classic yet foolish binge drinking tomfoolery from our younger days.

Adventures of Sideshow
In a past life, Sidey was the life of the party and it was chronicled on film. But he’s retired and handed the reigns to Smokey.

Adventures of Smokey
Smokey’s comical escapades, soon to be chronicled on film.

Air Ball = Carton Rule
If you shoot an air-balled free throw during a Beers game, you owe the team a carton of Beer and we keep track with the Beers Tally.

Aaaarrrroooooo
The Wolf call. Let it rip whenever Wolfie is getting it done.

Beer Island Iced Tea
Equal parts Vodka, Gin, Bacardi, Cointreau & Malibu blended with your juice or mixer of choice and garnished with fresh lime and pineapple.

Beer Number
A Beer’s position on the all time roster.

Brisbane Bitter
A Beers set play where you bounce the ball off your legs or feet and out of bounds. Often used at the end of close games.

Dirty Cooper
To inflict great pain and or injury on an opposing player. Can be a noun or a verb, as in “He Dirty Coopered me!” or “He didn’t play the ball, he just went for the Dirty Cooper“.

Don’t spill your beer Smokey
Our #1 fan’s classic line.

Eighty percent of fans…
Knew what they were talking about when voting in Sweat as their favorite Beer.

Every Girl…
… has a tattoo on her ass - according to Sidey’s sing-a-long anthem.

Have a spoonful…
… of cement and harden the f@#k up! It’s Herman’s motto.

Hermanated
To think you have a rebound secured, only to have it snatched from your grasp by Herman.

Local Beer
For Beer of Origin purposes, any Beers player that was born &/or raised outside of Brisbane.

Jack
To shoot the ball when in the interests of good teamwork, you know you probably shouldn’t. All good Beers jack it now and again.

Juddy doesn’t know
If you’ve seen the movie, Eurotrip, you’ll remember Matt Damon pumping out a punk song called ‘Scotty Doesn’t Know‘. We saw the movie on a road trip once and it morphed into ‘Juddy Doesn’t Know’ and is often sung or muttered whenever Juddy screws something up.

Local Beer
For Beer of Origin purposes, any Beers player that was born &/or raised in Brisbane.

Machine
A Beers play involving camping, then shooting. Named after The Machine.

Pass WTF!
A common argument inducing tirade from one of favorite opponents.

Piggy doesn’t show
Morphed from ‘Juddy doesn’t know’, a little ditty to describe Piggy’s tendency to be late.

Plowed
To be struck by a heavy object moving at great velocity.

Premium Beer
A Beers screen and roll play between a guard and a big - you just yell out any premium beer’s brand name (e.g. Stella) and it is known that the guard will shoot or drive when he comes off the screen. See also Standard Beer.

Scotty doesn’t know
See ‘Juddy doesn’t know’. We also use it for Wolfie now, because his name is actually Scotty!

Sethmored
Similar to being Plowed, except by a much bigger object.

Show > Hole
You should always be trying to exhibit more show than hole. This one’s too lengthy to explain online, you just had to be there.

Smokey, move your head!
Because Smokey has a big melon and Herman likes to remind him.

Standard Beer
A Beers screen and roll play between a guard and a big - you just yell out any crappy or low class beer’s brand name (e.g. VB) and it is known that the big man will get the ball he comes off the screen. See also Premium Beer.

Tech Foul = Carton Rule
If you receive a tech foul during a Beers game, you owe the team a carton of Beer and we keep track with the Beers Tally.

What would Majerle do?
The question you should ask yourself when in a quandry.

Where’s there’s Smoke, there’s fire.
Because Smokey gets fiery sometimes.
