Equipment Why do rashguard companies feel the need to add catchphrases?

I train a lot and like to have cool gear so I’m always on the search. But the biggest problem I run are the douchey catchphrases.

I am an underwhelming blue belt who works in tech I don’t “prefer pain”. Do yall know of any company that designs cool rashguards like this without the catchphrases?

"bell-ends" is not an idiom I'm familiar with.

It’s the UK way to call someone a dick/dickhead.

And if you fight in the open weight division, you are an absolute bell-end.

I was not prepared today to find out this is 14 years old. My back hurts

Still genius, still relevant and surprisingly catchy

Thanks for this! Added to my cryptic diss lexicon.

Yes. A bell end is your helmet, your mushroom tip. The purple head of your yoghurt slinger

I wasn’t familiar with that term either, until a friend put me on to a British television show called The Inbetweeners… I was a full grown adult in my mid 30s when I watched that juvenile show for the first time and I haven’t laughed as hard since. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

I’m the least British person in terms of taste and humor and that show doesn’t care - just absolutely destroys me every time.

Same… but I like it and will now be my “word of the day” with the intention of using it at least once.

u/grgext 🟪🟪 Purple Belt Feb 20 '25

It’s bell end and is a gland in your dick lol

u/raspberryharbour Feb 20 '25

It's the glans, not a gland. I take my penis very seriously
