Moron fans at the PGA outside Philly keep chanting "E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles" I think to troll Scheffler because they know he's from Dallas.:doh
 


That is awesome for the little girl, but what is this "jars it" nonsense? Is this what the whippersnappers are calling it now?

People thinking using jargon and slang makes them cool.

I heard a hockey announcer call the goal "the 4x6" instead of just saying "the goal". It's stupid and cringe worthy. Try-hards are never cool.

It's freaking annoying. I swear if I ever heard someone say tuddie in my presence I would feel obligated to punch them in the throat.
 
I don't think "jarring it" is new. I'm sure you could find that dork Scott Van Pelt saying that on the Golf Channel in the late 90s.

Still kind of lame, though.

You're right, It isn't "new" necessarily. I looked it up because I was curious. I still don't like it. I'm at that stage in life where the clouds need a little yelling at.

Modern Usage

The term became more common in the 2000s–2010s (especially with social media, score recaps, and hole-in-one stories) and remains popular today for dramatic putts, chips, or aces. Examples include casual play, broadcasts, and social posts like "jarred it from 162 yards" or "almost jarred this birdie putt."

In short, it’s a relatively modern American golf colloquialism that gained traction in the 1990s, with its first public record in 1996. There’s no single "coining" event or famous golfer credited with inventing it—it seems to have emerged organically from players visualizing the cup as a jar.
