Smack talk vs. Trash talk

[Ranger Mom]

Is there a difference??

I read some of these posts that are so obviously tongue in cheek....and then on the other hand I read where someone tries to come over as funny, but you can feel the border line animosity dripping from every word!!!

To me, there are some who just have knack for it and others who get too defensive! And then, you always have the one who THINKS they are funny, but all their posts just end up making them look silly!!



IMO...smack talk is all in fun, trash talk - not so much so!!!

IMO, smack without a cutting edge is just being mush mouthed. There needs to be a slight stinging sensation associated with it or it is just wasted keystrokes.

Yes.

The Ingleside folks wait with baited breath for my smack talk that borders on trash talk.

I don't talk trash...I talk smack. Smack is funnier.

I'm confused as to which I am. I am going to go with just being a smartass, and leave it at that. My brother, on the other hand, is an only child.

Good smack is just like stink bait. Good smack will bring in the whoppers!

I used to reel in rundoe all the time. Now he is like a deer in the head lights. He just dashes across the 3ADL highway every now and then leaving his silly little droppings everywhere.

IMO, "smack" tends to be good-natured whereas "trash" talk isn't.

IMO Smack talk is talking up your own team's ability, fandom, tradition

Trash talk is knocking down the other team's ability, fandom and tradition

If you would quit eating piggy perch you wouldn't have Baited Breath!

But if I said something like...

Sweetwater is 18-6 all-time against Brownwood

...that would be doing a little of both wouldn't it?
