We have a duty to warn them, after all.

"Wide fetish" is the most egregious in my book.

Try that one with your filter off.

Who is this General Public guy, and why should we care if he thinks we sometimes use rude, coarse language? Some Harper Valley hypocrite or something?

As though the military are a bunch of saints when it comes to language.

yeh "lowe balls" could be offensive and "fist jam" could be considered real naughty. and how about "pumper", "deep and wet 3 finger undercling pocket", "fingercrack", "widecrack", "jamcrack", "milk the crack", "i need to do some crack".. etc..

 yeh, dont forget good ol "biner" may be the worst of all.!?

Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger find this thread offensive, and are reporting you to the mods, MisterE.

Next time, you might want to try some tenderness.

my mother passed away 6 years ago, bless her soul. she was the last person of the general public to be offended by anything like this stuff. she was italian, and most of it in english went over her head anyway. as i got to learn italian better, i realized she took a few liberties of her own.

still my favorite climb name ever, by todd skinner, dedicated to his hueco stripper girlfriend: tanks for the mammaries.


oops--for the record, i believe that was shoymin da voymin, not the late, great TS.

Heh heh! One of my (single) climbing partners did a google search on his name and it came up on "Wide Fetish". He was all like "WTF!". Then he clicked on the link and found out he was the photog for a new route on a wide crack and I'd given him the picture credit! LOL!

Nice rack! Duh obvious but this is also a weightlifting term, as in the bar is in the rack position, and if you like my rack, you should see my snatch.
Oh, and lifting also involves jerks.

I had a friend give me a lecture about the inappropriateness of my use of the word 'biner. I just kept quiet and though, "He can't be serious?!"

When they say "nice rack," I say "yeah, all you really need is doubles of hand size."

A classic double-entendre is in CM's route description of the Regular Route on the Middle Spire, Phantom Spires... LOL every time.

I was having a discussion with a british friend, Andy Walker, about when to retire carabiners and what to do with them when he casually remarked that "one of me potholing mates usually comes and picks the dead crabs off me." Wouldn't say that to the queen...LOL

Don't ever tell the cops you're in possession of a really bitchen aluminum bong that you just scored while doing Magic Mushroom.


The bong was actually found in the Albatross crack, after we got lost above Grey Ledges. But, the cops would not know the difference, nor care.

Talking on the phone at a busy intersection while waiting for the crosswalk light on a Friday after work:

"Yup no probs, I'll bring two hookers if you can bring some cord"



Of course I was referring to Abalakovs...but the folks beside me probably called 911

I've been asked about it. You'll lose them in the explanation when you tell them that these are your dear friends that you love. Hehehe.

Total accident...

Asking my climbing partner at the time (A dancer at Crazy Horse) because I was out of gear loop space -

"You mind if I hang my nuts on your rack?"

*facepalm*

Worse part was that I was honestly not trying to hit on her, due to the fact she gets that all the time. Damned Fruedian slips anyways.

...a few moves of friction, then palm up to the finger crack...you can put in a stopper, or just go for it unprotected.

ass hat: (N)? when someone is being lowered off a route and you are directly under them.

Super hot chic to me: "you want to move out of the way or you could wear me as an ass hat"

Not that offensive at all and I really had to think if I should move or not. In hindsight I should of stayed my ground.
