Gnarr

Saturday, February 2, 2012

Today's word is Gnarr.

I suppose definitions are in order. From urbandictionary.com:

1.  A word to exclaim when frustrated, or having a generally bad time.

"Gnarr! My hand exploded."

 

2. A stupid creature from the game Serious Sam. It just runs at you. You shoot it, it gets back up, and keeps running straight at you.

Can be used as an insult towards a similarily stupid person.

 

You gnarr *shake fist*

In the context of skiing, snowboarding, or skateboarding...but with one 'r' as in Gnar.

1. A shortened version of the word gnarly, meaning high on the scale of dangerousness and coolness. Often used among the skateboard crowd.

 

That switch heelflip was gnar.

 

2.  Snow.The white stuff. You like it.

 Lets shread the gnar.

3.  abbreviated form of 'gnarly', means really fucking kick ass.

also, used by snowboarders to describe good snow

4.  gnarly, but shorter. awesome, cool, sweet...

5. Gaffney's Numerical Assessment of Radness

 

Skier 1: Hey Check me out! I'm totally going to rip the shit out of this!

skier 2: Gnar.

6.  used to describe something extreme, usually in a good way.

 

Dude, I got that switch varial flip down an 8-stair.
It was gnar.

I was thinking of it in the context of conditions today. We got 27" between Sunday and Tuesday. By Wednesday morning it was 50 degrees at the mountain. Twenty-seven inches of, yep, you guessed it: Oregon Gnar. Of the frozen variety.

 

Dylan shreds the Gnar.

 

 That method was really Gnar.

The weather was pretty Gnar also.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall, conditions got pretty spring-y by the time we left at 1:30. Dylan had to work today so we missed the Gnarliest conditions. 

 

We usually go up on Super Sunday, but Dylan has to work again tomorrow, so I'll work and we'll probably watch the game in the afternoon. Looks like a front might move in later next week so maybe we'll get to shred some gnar pow.
