donkey, fish, noob?

not sure where to put this post so starting it here, does any established or players that have been playing awhile still use these terms? I remember when I 1st started playing I used to call people this stuff all the time but after awhile it just seems lame to me. Maybe it is because I play so many tables that I don't have time to type out some witty "nice call donk". or maybe it is just because now we realize that stuff happens and get over it.

I just don't see a point in sitting there screaming and calling someone a donk or fish. To me it just sounds stupid anyone else?

If some fool beats me with a dumb play that hits lucky, I`ll usually say nothing.

If I say anything at all, it`ll be "NH".

After all, I don`t want to warn him that he`s playing stupid. I need him to keep doing it, so I can get my chips back.

just seems every time I see someone call someone else a donk I just have to giggle because its soo pointless.

Id like to not say anything, and i agree it is pointless.
But i just cant help my self when you play a $5 sitNgo and someone goes allin 1st hand with Q4, you call with KK and lose, and then they call you a donk (before you have even said anything), for going all in with kings in the 1st hand.

You can get in people's heads just by calling them names sometimes. (It can be amusing)

duh said it was fake but let me change the name thing.

The problem with insulting a fish or donk when they make a bad play that pays off is that you may make them realize that you're right and they'll play better...that's not good. I like to express comedic frustration then congratulate them on a good play with subtle sarcasm
