Ping pong -- or as the Chinese call it, "ping pong"
May 2, 2011 3:22 PM Subscribe
Can you think of a good tagline for a competitive ping pong team?
We're getting custom sweatbands made for all the people on my ping pong team, and we're trying to think of a catchy or amusing tagline to put on them. It's pretty broad, but hopefully something about ping pong and how we're going to kick ass.
Any ideas?

Okay, it's a movie, but "Balls of Fury" is pretty good for this.

Heh heh - Hidden Pong.
"Who stepped on dogshit?!"
Can get a few running gags going with that one. Nice and self depreciating, too.

Response by poster: We actually don't have a team name yet! Figured we'd whiff something off the tagline.
These are awesome! My teammates are cracking up :)

Ping. Pong. Pwn.
Table tennis, anyone?
Are you being served?
Our balls only LOOK small.
Nothing, not even net.

Not a reference to ping pong, but I am big fan of "shit just got real".

Many serious players will expect you to riff on table tennis, since ping pong is a trade name used casually. But you knew that, I suppose.

If you were located in the UK, I'd say "Ding Dong". In a Leslie Phillips voice, of course.

Ping a pong

both of which are kind of a stretch.
