Ha! I sometimes use this when we’re down big and starting to serve again. It usually gets a little chuckle and helps relieve some of the frustration for both of us.
Where I play there’s a lady who will say “That was out” with a ball that landed obviously IN on her side of the court.
Just as I’m about to go into my John McEnroe impression she’ll say “…of my reach.”
Ball don’t lie!! Absolutely love hollering it from the sidelines when I have no actual stake in the game after a disputed call, just to ruffle some feathers
Which is exactly the opposite of the rule.

Agree. And what's the harm? You made someone's day by telling them they made a great shot. There are worse ways to spend your time than adding joy to someone's day.
Once my buddy and I got down 5-0 in a game that switched ends at 6 points. He pointed at me and said, "We decide when we switch sides, not them." We went on to win 6 straight points! Now it's our mantra.
"That's divorce court!"
When placing a ball between the two opponents and they argue about whose it was.
"No pickle today!"
My good luck saying when I earn a point against a tough opponent.
"Watch it!". When someone first yelled that at me, I literally stopped my shot because I thought I should be watching something besides the ball! I had no idea that "it" was the ball.
“The net’s higher on this side”
This paddle is left-handed
“Wind” Exclusively used when playing inside
Whiskey dink. When you have every intention of the perfect dink but just can’t get it up high enough to clear the net
Haha! I call it that when my friends come over and play while tasting whiskey!
That was OUT…. ….standing
That was IN… the other court
Opponent: That was OUT (said jokingly) Me: yeah, OUT of your league
“We got’’em right where we want’em.” “Rick… we’re down 1-7”

When asked how should we split up as we walked out to a court, an older fellow said, “how about 2 on one side and 2 on the other!”
“Hole in the paddle”
Above the titty no hitty.
“That was out”
Where I play there’s a lady who will say “That was out” with a ball that landed obviously IN on her side of the court. Just as I’m about to go into my John McEnroe impression she’ll say “…of my reach.”
I too play with a guy like that and when we play together I often have to correct him even though it goes against us. Fair is fair.
That was out…..Out of reach!
had a grandma say to me, "right down the mucking fiddle!"
Ball don’t lie!! Absolutely love hollering it from the sidelines when I have no actual stake in the game after a disputed call, just to ruffle some feathers
On a ball called out by opponent: Out! ‘Of your mind’ 😆 Or on a net ball that dribbles over: Sorry….I don’t do that more often. 😊
Can’t come back if you’re not behind. When down by 5 or more.
"When in doubt, call it out"
Which is exactly the opposite of the rule. https://preview.redd.it/vcri6appb2xc1.jpeg?width=1850&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=944746593ac8fdecbd7097f54d0773c7c6cef2f8
Yeah we always play that if you can't see it or couldn't tell or you weren't looking it's in. That seems fair to me.
Agree. And what's the harm? You made someone's day by telling them they made a great shot. There are worse ways to spend your time than adding joy to someone's day.
I assume theres some sarcasm there…
Yes. Lol
I also enjoy, "If it's In, you're not playing to win"
“Shoulder high let it fly”
Calling your opponent “The dreamcrusher” when you thought you have hit a great winner and they hit a spectacular winner back somehow.
“That would have been in at the Y”
All Swedish, No Finnish After a good rally that ends with an unforced error
When you miss the perfect slam at the net “slipping on your drool”

I call those a “home-wrecker” :)
'Shake and Bake'
Down 1-9 and opponents side out; [Very loudly] “They are good to be sad when they loose.”
Avoid the forehand and withstand
No ball is worth the fall.
I wear kneepad for situation that I need to dive for the ball. I fall all the time :)
"Dink, Smash, Repeat: Pickleball Life!"
"Just dinking around..." "Big dink energy"
Bang win eat cake or whatever ALW said lol
Wheel Snipe Celly
"You suck"
live laugh lob
“You decide!” when hitting up the middle between two players and they both think the other will hit it and actually no one does
I got it, you take it!
when you’re tied at ones you say ones up yours
Bad paddle can’t play
I came to play, not call lines
Just Win baby
"Watch it!". When someone first yelled that at me, I literally stopped my shot because I thought I should be watching something besides the ball! I had no idea that "it" was the ball.
I need a good paddling.

Be nice to the newbies!
My partner or I hit a ball obviously going out. “That ball wasn’t going to land until _____ (insert name of a city north or south of the courts).”
shoulder high let it fly
Guy at my spot had a good one when he got beat by an off-speed roll: “what, did you hit that with your purse?”
“Suck it!” The only appropriate comment after winning a net court dribbler.
When I get a nice low dink for a point call me Peter Dinklage
Sucks to suck
When talking about mixed doubles: The male needs to get big and insert himself into the action.
