Homemade Sash

A term used in competitive Pokémon when a Pokémon survives an attack from full health at 1 HP, despite not carrying a Focus Sash item or having the ability Sturdy. Usually a Homemade Sash has a very notable impact on the battle, often making the difference between a win or a loss. This term was first used by Pokemon Showdown user Xeno Disconnected, when fellow user Escaval's last Pokémon, Mega Sableye, lived an Alolan Marowak's Flare Blitz at 1 HP, allowing it to take said Marowak out with Knock Off and winning the game.

While originally the term was only used when a Pokémon lived exactly at 1 HP, thanks to Pokémon Showdown's HP Percentage mod the term was also used for any attack living at 1% HP, which could usually also be 2 or 3 HP. Later the term also got used for any attack being survived at 1% HP, even if the defender wasn't at full HP, under the motto "Homemade Sash: Works anytime, anywhere!"

Xeno Scarf: What the fuck|Wtf this nibba's Slowbro just survived my Shadow Ball at 1% and took out my Haunter with Psyshock
Xeno Escaval: That's Homemade Sash for ya

Sash

A protestat song in ulster

Everyone thets sing the sash

Sure I'm an Ulster Orangeman, from Erin's Isle I came
To see my Glasgow brethren all of honor and of fame
And to tell them of my forefathers who fought in days of yore
All on the twelfth day of July in The Sash My Father Wore.

Chorus:
It is old but it is beautiful, and its colors they are fine
It was worn at Derry, Aughrim, Enniskillen and the Boyne. From my orange and purple forefather, it descended with galore
It's a terror to them Papish boys, The Sash My Father Wore.

So here I am in Glasgow town, youze boys and girls to see
And I hope that in good Orange style you will welcome me
A true blue blade that's just arrived from that dear Ulster shore
All on the twelfth day of July in The Sash My Father Wore.

Chorus

And when I'm going to leave yeeze all, "Good Luck," to youze I'll say
And as I cross the raging sea, my Orange flute I'll play
Returning to my native town, to old Belfast once more
To be welcomed back by Orangemen in The Sash My Father Wore
