I would think these would make terrible appitizers being so lean of meat and sustinance...

I like "drop knee". It doesn't really sound funny, it just makes me think of someone doing a drop knee and having their knee drop off!

dry-tooling...

or hearing climbing terms out of context...

Heard in the Operating Room of a local trauma center one night, after a person was saved by a chief resident's quick hands, technical excellence, and just being damn good ...

Anesthesiologist: How'd that lady do from early tonight??

Surgeon: She's Bomber, man...

Anesthesiologist: Bomber? sorry to hear that...

Me playing translator: she's just fine, it's a climbing term for "rock solid"

Anesthesiologist: Oh... uh... glad to hear it...

I've always had a juvenile chuckle with the term "nuts."

"How many nuts do you have on YOUR rack, eh?"

"Why, that's a nice set of nuts there!"

"My nuts are old and worn, I should probably get a new set of nuts."

"My rack of nuts is larger than yours."

But then theres always: "Hey man, nice nuts. Can I borrow them?"

I dyno'ed for one of her slopers, I then found a bomber two- finger pocket. I traversed around the backside to a greasy lieback. I then applyied a heel-hook, followed by a mantle, leading to a climactic finish. The descent was very strenuous, involving a lot of bushwacking wink.gif" border="0

I have gotten many laughs with the term BOHIC. (Bend Over Here It Comes). This is a military term with an obvious meaning. Some climbers I know have aplied it to bad wether.

This term can be modified as folows: BOHICED, paste tence BOHICING,present tense, BOHICER (an ugly looking cloud aboot to ruin your climb) or cumulobohicus. [big Drink]smile.gif" border="0

Hay man,I cant find them, but did you see my LOWE BALLS ,they were dangling next to my NUTS maybe I should use my PIN here but this CRACK doesn’t look wide enough to take it any way. it does look like the CRACK is opening up and it might take a SCREW a little way up the middle of the CRACK any way I think I’m going all the way UP IT. It looks like it will take FINGERS almost all the way up. Doesn't looks good I just hope it doesn't COME DOWN on me grin.gif" border="0[Wazzup]
