I used to have a page of climbing one-liners. I got it at the Escape Route at Cal Poly a long time ago. The other day I realized I've lost it. Dang it! I can only remember a few of them. Can everyone else pitch in with their favorites?
Hand Jam or Test Cam
Finger Locks or Cedar Box
If You Fail To Prepare, Prepare to Fail
If You Fail to Prevail, Prepare to Impale
Beta Max or Heavy Racks
Move That Hold, You’re Growing Mold
Flash Man or Trash Can
Don’t Be a Moper, Reach for the Sloper
Crank the Edge or Hit the Ledge

I always took great joy in handing my rack to a climbing partner...or, really, anyone remotely nearby, and saying "Hold my nuts for a second, would you?"

It's Easy to be Brave from a Distance
It's Easy to be Distant when You're Brave
Sayings...
My partner John would always say, just before hopping on a necky lead or the crux of a route, "Well, there's no time like the present." We don't climb together so much anymore, but I've taken up the habit of saying this, and the more I think about it, the more apropos it is...

"On Belay?"
"Belay On."
"I'm climbing then - or what passes for it..."
You climb like a girl! - compliment
You climb like a p#ssy! - not a compliment
Dude, you're totally fine. I got up it so you should hike this choss pile! It does get a little grim in that one place, but just bear down a little and don't hang out. - incomprehensible to anyone but climbers.
Sometimes you have to run it out, 'cause there's just no damn gear. And that's when you either hang your head and say let's go down, or you grab the rack and say f#ck it - i can do this.
Hey! That's not chalk - that's pigeon shit!
I'm "pretty sure" that was the crux. It's all easy from here.
I'm the man, you're the hand.
Nice knot, double backed,Locked and Loaded!
Don't worry. This rope is thoroughly tested. It's held hundreds of big falls. So you're probably okay.
Reimer's Rock Ranch Special:
Oh, don't forget to put the #2 cam in that big hueco midway up. No, not for pro. You don't even clip the rope to it. But if you don't, the squirrel will come out of it and chew on your rope. Seriously. You didn't bring it!?! I'd climb fast, then.
Uh, I didn't save much gear for the anchor, but its fine. Just don't fall, okay?

Lambone - This can also be used in the past tense "He was huckin'a mo!!"
Or another version of past tense "I had to huck some serious mo to get to the next jug!"
None of this should be confused with "Hackin'tate" which is what some men do when they are alone in the woods for months.
"Feedin' the geese" is another version of this, though.

these are some quotes I bit from random people I know - mostly my friend anthony.
"tighten up those cheeks and suck in those abs"
"put you nuts in a bag and sack up"
"backstep the sexiness" (not sure what this means, but I stole it from some guy in Bishop)
"dont cut! dont cut! dont cut! I'll pay you"
"its all business to 25 feet then its V-0 from there"
"that problem isnt magically going to do itself"
"thats not a V-(insert any random number here) -this phrase is often uttered by many boulderers
"its do-able" (usually followed by some act of extreme stupidity for the sake of entertainment)
and my personal favorite.....
"TEAM SEND!" this is when someone sends something you cant, but you get the glory too just because you were lucky enough to be there.

Sorry to keep postin' like this, but I keep thinking of funny things because I've climbed w/ so many funny people.
This one (most hilarious ) guy I use to climb with would always rack up at the base singing:
TOP ROPE HERO
"That one big cam felt good in his hands;
Didn't take long to understand
Just one big cam,
Sunk way down low
Was a oneway ticket, only one way to go.
So he started climbing,
He's never gonna stop,
Gonna keep on climbin'
Some day he's gonna make it to the top.
Cuz he's a Top Rope hero"
-Foreigner
As you can imagine, the lyrics have endless possibilities depending on the climb!

Will I still be able to climb this weekend?
Not climbing sayings but said related to climbing
I was laying in a hospital bed IVs ect. Watching the two Doctors discussing my symptoms. After the older Doc left the younger Doc said in England we wait a little longer before we cut. To that I asked, will I still be able to climb this weekend if you cut?
With a shocked look on his face he said you will not be out of the Hospital this weekend.
I climbed at Josh that weekend
Getting stitches on my forehead My family Doctor said if you stay home , don’t sweat and keep the it clean you won't have a scare. But I know your on your way to go climb . You will get a scar and later you will get a wrinkle to cover the scar. Couldn’t tell you right or left side now 27 years later or even care. RCS

History:
Russ while driving back from his sisters house near Sac drove past this large Granite Dome. Thinking he has just found the best climbing in northern CA he starts asking around and explaining his find. I think I may have responded with something like, "you mean Lovers Leap?"
Scene:
Shortly thereafter we make a pilgrimage up to the large rock to do some classics. Keep in mind this is July so it's kinda hot....
We're on "The Line" just above the belay of P2 you are forced over a small roof. Russ has no pro between the belay and himself and is wigglin' and making all sorts of noise trying to get over the roof. This was quite humorous to me as he was using Noob-type technique not the finely tuned old-school art he usually does.
Anyhoo - I'm chuckling away at the belay when he looks down at me and calmly states. "keep laughing and you'll be wearing my ass as a hat"
That ladies and gentleman is when the FISH coined the phrase...."ass as a hat".
Gotta love it!

One of my friends to another in another tent with his girlfriend in the morning:
"Get off the hoe and let's set some pro."
Me to my wife when she's sketched out on a climb: "Hey, you want some beta?" She: "YEAH!" Me: "Try a little f*cking harder." [stolen from Climbing Magazine a few years ago.]

Kor would say bizarre things, such as, "Get up here, Ament, my anchors are coming out." Of course that made me in a hurry to get to where he was.
Steve Wunsch told me this story. He overheard a climber who was beginning to follow a 5.4 pitch it Eldorado. The climber said,
Ready to climb.
Climbing.
I'm not moving.
Pull like hell.

Before leaving the ground, instead of yelling back and forth the usual belay/climbing commands, especially if there is a good crowd to hear it, I like to yell up to the leader, "Here I come, ready or not!"

Don't bounce on the jumars..the anchor's not all that good.
Today is a good day to die.
If you step on my rope, I'm going to punch you in the face;..If I step on the rope;..you punch ME in the face.
This is the last time I'm going climbing desert towers with you.
I just dropped the rope.
No, I'm NOT O K.
Dirt Me.
May a dick grow out of your forehead.
Put down the pipe and get me back on belay.
Wake up.
Is he still alive?
Will you look at my foot and tell me if it's still there?
I'm lost.
This was a really bad idea.
The sheath on the rope just gave way.
It's getting dark and starting to snow.
Go back to the car and get the bong.
You remind me of my favorite chalkbag.
Can we go ahead;...we are faster than you?
My goal;..to get back home safe and alive.

Don't worry about that sharp edge, it probably won't cut the rope.

I climb just to met chicks(guys).
I climb 5.12 sport and 5.7 crack.
Summit or no summit;...no problem.
The drill bit just broke.
If I fall can you take in slack?
May a dick grow out of your forehead.
Can you lead the rest of the climb?
Give ME the rack.
You are not at ALL like your profile on line.......
Are you the belay girl?
This is my first time climbing outdoors.
You PROMISED me that YOU would lead the crux pitch.
Sober up; it's YOUR lead.

I was fairly noobish a while back and staring up at a route at the New River Gorge. A girl walked up to me and asked "Do you want me to spray you down."
I had never heard that expression. I gave her a very awkward and confused look.
