go ho

Contraction for "Go Horizontal" ... the ultimate Ultimate Frisbee move where a player propels himself horizontally, parallel to the playing surface, in an attempt to catch a disc thrown to him. Similar to a move in baseball where an infielder leaps and stretches to snag a sharply hit ball just barely within his reach.

"Dude, I had to completely 'go ho' to get that one."

Pilot Prick: "Ahhhhhhh, I'm going to have to make a nice coordinated 250 degree turn beforehand, standby... and ahhhhhhhh... only have one other 500 lb munition remaining.... I didn't think we needed a full load..."

Darrin: "Don't tell me you're Going Winchester already!"

Darrin: "Listen, you two pump chump! Pound it and leave!"
