FAQ
Are you?
A plea for help. A Hound who is not on the trail and wants to know if anyone else is. The reply should be either CHECKING, LOOKING  or ON ON.
Check
A cunning trap to put the hounds off the trail and slow them down, it also enables back runners to catch up.
Down Down
The act of consuming a full tankard of beer in one or less gulps. If you do not get it down the balance should be poured over your head - or down your pants. Newcomers, leavers, celebrators, and anyone else who deserves it can be invited to do a down down.
False Trail
Usually found after a check. A false trail can be of any length, depending on the level of nastiness of the hare. If you find it, go back to the check and look in another direction. Note: Falsies are seldom or never come across by the back runners, and are employed mainly to keep the FRBs from not getting to the beer too early
FRB
Also known as front running bastards, they are those silly people who r*n on a hash.
Grand Master/Mistress
The senior member of the loud mouthed bunch of idiots who call themselves Hash mismanagement.
Hash Thrash
A good smash-up party, held as often as possible and up to 365 times a year.
Looking
A call that is made when the trail has been lost and the pack is searching for it. This is not used when you are on a check and are looking for new trail.
