ARE
YOU
A plea for help. A Hound who is not on the trail and wants to know if
anyone else is. The reply should be either "checking" or
"ON ON".
CHECK
A cunning trap to put the hounds off the trail also enables back
runners to catch up.
CHECKING
Looking for the trail. If you are Checking, say so.
DOWN DOWN The act of consuming a full tankard of beer in one or less
gulps. If you do not get it down the balance should be poured over
your head - or down your pants. Newcomers, leavers, celebrators, and
anyone else who deserves it can be invited to do a down down.
HARE
The person who lays the trail. They are totally responsible for any
cock-ups which occur and is therefore eligible to receive the
hash-shit award.
HASH-SHIT
A weekly award made for some particularly nasty effort. It could be
either good or bad. The award is held until someone else does better
or worse.
HASH HORN
No It's not... It's an old hunting horn used to rally the pack, also
as directional pointer for the back markers.
GRANDMASTER
A member of the loud mouthed bunch of idiots who call themselves Hash
Mismanagement.
ON ON
Called during the run when you are on the trail. The call assists the
rear runners who may not be able to see the front runners but at least
can hear them.
ON IN
The venue where all the crates of amber throat charmer are consumed,
and where the Religious Advisor comes into his own.
FRB
Front Running Bastard. To be a successful FRB requires no skill except for fitness and a determination to be "first in". A good hare will lay cunning checks to tire out the FRB's and allow the back-markers to keep up.
SCB
Short Cutting Bastard. To be a successful SCB requires great skill and
cunning. A SCB has to try to make it appear that they have run the
whole trail when in fact they have only done about half of it.
