EWolfe Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 "Sounds like a plan, but:" 1. "We'll see if the wife/husband, etc has other plans." 2. "Dude! I can't climb unless I score this sachel!" 3. "The weather looks hit or miss, man..." Others you've heard or used? Responses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWolfe Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share Posted November 30, 2003 Guys? Will you please look up caveat? Ah, Hell: "a warning enjoining one from certain acts or practices b : an explanation to prevent misinterpretation" Potential no-show is the key here. Not what is actually keeping you away. That is a... (where's Minx's pic) dead horse thoroughly beaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 "I didn't bring the guidebook but I think the next pitch is 5.8" That's more of a Beta Caveat. Caveat - from Latin be wary or distrust ie Caveat Emptor =buyer beware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 You are referring to "conditional responses", no? "I can go climbing if I get the article written for the magazine."

chucK Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 What do you do with this one? "I can go but I gotta let you know that I haven't been out at all this year. I'll probably only be able to get up 5.[3 number grades lower than what you had wanted to get on] and then only if you lead all the pitches." Do you just blow them off? You already made the offer. I guess one could gain a little high ground on this problem by making the invitation more specific, "wanna go climb X?", so your invitation has a caveat.

Beck Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 "if the choss starts to trundle, climb faster" that is a caveat. a warning or caution. from the latin, "let him beware", added to emptor it comes out as, "let the buyer beware" your peopless caveats are a bit off the mark. Ohhh, am I going to get banned for saying that? yeah, whatever. another caveat: "verglas is no one's friend" my 2 cents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
