Georgia O'Gifle

Athletic Background

I was a collegiate hurler (it’s a sport…no seriously, look it up) and have participated in a half a dozen other sports over the years.

Signature Derby Accessory

Black lipstick, glitter, and pigtails.

Behind the Name

I started my derby career in France. In French, “gifle” (pronounced /ʒifl/) means “slap.” So I’m Georgia O’Slap but it conveniently mostly rhymes with Georgia O’Keeffe (American modernist painter known for southwestern landscapes and flowers resembling vulvas).

Likes

Mountains, lakes, chocolate, cats, and French pop.

Dislikes

Twizzlers, barnacles, and slivered almonds.

Fun Fact

I’m really good at headstands.
