when you see someone in a movie doing a rear naked choke, and you do one of two things
1) scream at the tv for the guy/girl to put the hooks in for more control
2) quietly sit there and mock the guy in your head for poor form, and how you could do it that much better

when you use terms like "shrimping" "oopa" "hooks" and various submissions in your day to day vocabulary expecting everyone you run into to know wat they mean

when you see people on the subway, and think how fast you could take them down and sub them

the way to size up a guy in a bar isnt to look at the physical size of his body, but to see if he has cauliflower ears

asking every person wearing a tapout, sprawl, affliction, extreme couture wat they train, usually getting the answer "i dont train, but i do watch the UFC" with your response being "oh..."

when i'm on the subway and it breaks suddenly (and i'm not holding onto the bar for whatever reason) instead of taking a step forward to stop my fall, i'll reach back with one foot and get a butterfly hook around the pole, and continue to read my book.
