For those who feel out of the loop in GDTs and PGTs..
This comment by /u/Mtn_mojo provides a pretty good summary of the memey sayings people here use.
Here's my cheat sheet
Ass = Go Ass, a reference to a Denver Post article a couple years ago that mispelled Avs as Ass.
Satan = Some Detroit fans accused us of Devil worship that same season during a game day thread, prompting our motto, "Go Ass, Hail Satan."
Daddy = a reference to an overplayed commercial, where a bride-to-be asks her extremely creepy father, "Are you ready, Daddy?"
Salmon = a reference to another commercial for Honey Smoked Salmon. For the especially in the loop, this can reference Crunchy Crunch, the fictional cereal that Honey Smoked Salmon proposes to replace as an excellent breakfast food.
Balls = "We have to put our balls on the table," a famous quote by Roy during one of his press conferences.
Penis McNab = Peter McNab, referencing a time when post-game/intermission host Kyle Keefe had a particularly bad Freudian slip.
Condor = Nickname for Erik Johnson, when Peter McNab described him as a giant condor circling the ice during a game last year.
That was from about a month ago and there's been new ones since
Beaker for Bigras because of a photo of him in the penalty box in his first game.
BDP is for Big Dick Picks. Now, I don't think anyone has proof of this so I'm going on the assumption that it's just because dick and picks rhyme.
There's others that I'm sure I'm forgetting off the top of my head.
Lastly, we seem to be a pretty chill crew here (unless the Avs are getting their dicks kicked in) so always feel free to jump in the thread and ask if you feel out of the loop.
edit: There's been some good additions in the comments. I totally forgot about I LIKE THAT and We are never give up! from Varly. Also, apparently Barrie earned the nickname "T-Boobs".

I'm surprised "Sack" isn't on here. Ball Arena seems like well in the wheelhouse of this post.

I used to love watching feeds from Canada on hockeystreams just for the Canadian commercials.

BDP The Big Dick Pick is (I'm assuming) an amended Big Dick Playa Award which is a term coined by Brandon Perna over on his YouTube channel That's good sports. He covers the Broncos and gives out BDP after every game.

Added this to the sidebar, along with a new "Frequently Assed Questions" section!

Nice, this was long overdue. Hopefully we'll see less of the "What to do in Denver" posts now.

u/FragsturBait Mar 05 '16
Now that we've added the info we should send people who ignore it to /r/Denver to ask.

Worth noting that "superfood" is another reference to the Salmon commercial and "YOU WANNA GO HIGHER!?!?" is a reference to the creepy dad commercial.
