Rail

A rail is the metal wire that forms the so-called “beds” on a dartboard. With just a tiny bit of imagination, the outer and middle rings of the doubles and triples kind of look like a miniature railroad track. Choo-choo! All aboard the Dart Express, next stop: Triple 20!

Redeemer

The redeemer (or rev for short) is that last dart you throw when the first two have completely let you down. It’s the darting equivalent of a Houdini escape act, a magical, clutch move that swoops in to save the day and makes everyone forget about the absolute mess you just made with the first two throws. Think of it as your dartboard apology: “Sorry about those two duds, but hey, look at this beauty!”

Right church, wrong pew

In the world of darts, there’s a term for those times you aim for a double or triple but hit the wrong number. It’s like saying, “Close, but no cigar.” Literally, it means “you’re in the right church, but sitting in the wrong pew.” It’s that classic moment where you think you’ve nailed it, only to realize your dart decided to go on an unexpected adventure!

Up

Right there

Right there is that cheeky, slightly sarcastic phrase fans love to shout when a dart misses its mark by a measly millimeter. It’s like they’re saying, “Oh, so close! If only you’d listened to me, the armchair expert, you’d have nailed it!” Cue the dramatic gasps and facepalms as “right there” moments lead to heart-stopping checkouts or last-second losses that leave everyone wondering if the dartboard has a personal vendetta. It’s the darts equivalent of “I could’ve done that better”, except, let’s be real, they probably couldn’t.
