Hashers are not a pretentious bunch. As such, we don't care how much you make, or what you do. We don't give deferential treatment to those who normally get it at home or at work, and we don't look down our noses at those who are less fortunate. We gather in a relaxed social setting, don't worry about the impression we make, we get sweaty and dirty, and generally make fun of ourselves and those around us. To that end, we give each other disparaging names. Most hash names have something to do with the hasher or something they may have done at a hash. We usually ask for embarrassing stories from their friends, who can spill the dirt. Many names can't be said in polite company, but often the best names are a combination of wit and innuendo (now there's a possible name - In U-End-Oh! For a great rant on hash names by Burnt Sox, visit his Half-Mind rant.
Hash Terminology
As with most and specialized group, organization, or
industry, hashers have their own set of terms to refer to their
activities. From a "back check" to "true trail",
understanding the terminology is half the battle, and may make the
difference between a cold beer and a cold ride in the back of a
pickup. See Mount Vernon's guide to Hash
Terminology.
Hash Songs
Nearly every hash has the favorite songs that they
sing every week, and where ever you go, you'll always hear some new
songs. Like hash names, they're often rude and crude and not meant
for young ears. Songs are sung at the start circle to loosen
everyone up before the run, are sometimes sung at the beer check, and
nearly always sung at the end-circle. When we're on a bus, or tubing
down the river, or just generally waiting around, we sing hash
songs. Songs tend to bring us together and get everyone to join
in. We're certainly no American Idols, but songs sung by hashers
always sound good. Maybe its the beer... Many hashes have a song list on their
website of their popular songs, and there are websites dedicated to
hash songs. Look up the songs on your home hash's site, or check out
