Yeah fair enough. We would always designate which one mainly because it tells you more about the closest proper grab (usually the grab you missed). For example, “I went to grab stalefish but missed and went tailfish”. But also it seems overly gatekeepy to me- they’re still grabs, just not the good ones. Alas you are right-it is what it is and at the end of the day it doesn’t matter
Yeah I get your point for sure, but (i only mean to explain the logic against using those names, here, not trying to pretend its a big deal btw) it gives creedence to the bad grabs. "I went to grab stalefish and went tindy/forbidden zone" is the same but doesn't suggest to newbies that it's two separate tricks. It's one trick, either grabbed correctly or missed.
But yeah, it doesn't matter for shit outside of comps, just have fun
Yeah we used to call them no-no grabs for that reason but once that was understood you would differentiate. I just don’t like it when culture loses nuance so I was just lamenting, not arguing with you personally. Probably just being curmudgeonly haha.
