"I ripped a nut and grounded"
The puzzled look and immediate glance to my crotch was what made it funny at the time

No commitment,
Hock equipment.
For years thought it was from Dimes. He had no comment.
Thought it just be a Shockleyism. He said he'd never heard it.

"la-di-da" random saying from Annie Hall
"F*#k You __!" in blank insert appropriate FA name, usually Chuck (Pratt), Frank (Sacherer), Kamps, etc...
"It's a good day to die"
"Sell my clothes I'm goin' to heaven"
Some from my friend Will:
"You sewed that up tighter than a bull's ass in fly season"
"That's slicker than a cat's dick on his wedding night"
"Thumbs down, wear a frown" (on proper jamming technique).
usually when I'm hyperventilating through a crux Will starts singing Johnny Cash:
"I here that train a comin', comin' round the bend..."

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

Gotta agree that "it's all there" is one of the most common. Sure... it's all there... just good luck in finding it!
If someone says, "It was interesting" when talking about a route, I usually start to get a bit worried.

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!
