Trash talk, *** talk

Hi.
I am looking for a word or phrase expressing the trash talk before the match or during match between two team members in opposite teams.
For an instance, the follwoing conversation can be part of what I mean.

A. you don't stand a chance, we are four points ahead of you .
B. Don't count your chicken before they are hatched. you will be smached.
A. You can think like that if it makes you feel better, but you amateur players do not know even how to shoot the ball.

What do we call these ind of braggings and humilation of the opponent.
I have heard of *** talk, or trash talk.
I would be thankful if you could suggest more.

Thank you.
Cheers

Hi Hamid
You are welcome.
Can I ask you something? From where do you get such interesting questions? I mean to say that your questions are very much different from those of others. Where do you get them? While reading books?
Thank you.

Thank you very much Prajwalkr for your compliment.
I live in US. These are the questions I encounter in my everyday life.
I was playing bowling the other day with bunch of my American friends. We were having kind of trash talk during the game.

Thank you again for your response and compliment.
Cheers

Thank you Clive.
Actually I am not looking for those deragatory remarks, I was mostly referring to friendly remarks expressed during the competition between friends in order to spice up the match and make it more exciting.

My friend Iman suggeted hot *******, I wonder if you have ever heard or used it.
Thank you.

Hi,

I've always thought that hotdogging refers to doing flashy or dangerous stunts, eg like a skier doing somersaults.

The Meriam dictionary seems to agree with me.
