(*the industry mogul with the animal nickname)
List the best words/phrases/expressions AND a translation:
Example:
"turd burgler" -- (mammoth guy) gardner/"landscaper"
"huckin' a mo" -- dyno
"snackin' a shween" -- uh, fellatio
Also valid would be re-tellings of Russ' ability--despite a seive-like memory--to recount word-for-word, entire episodes of Dragnet ("Blue Boy") or the Manson interviews.
Post away (and let the guys at Websters try to catch up...)

I think most of those/these are Largo-isms..... Before Largo everything was "straight-speak". For some classics, read some Chandler.
Always loved these from various sources:
Snail eye- what your penis does on hard aid leads, just as if it was a touched snail eye in full retraction.
Turtle Head: when you really need go to go #2
Pressin' Fabric: same as above
Stinkbuggin': Slab climbing move
Thought it was a pube until it peed: figure it out
Mummy Dust: flatus, as in when you crack the Sarcophagus and a foul odor quickly finds your sniffer.
Dead Sea Scrolls: flatus, as in a rolling out of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
too much of the above will give you the dreaded "chapped fruit loop"..... pass the chapstick.
Bum Fluff: that bad whispy beard that the young patchouli guys like to run before their testacles drop.
Flab-a-lanche: that thing hanging over your belt
Pounding the skin pin: Big wall activity done sans pants by some soloists, in all senses of the word.
Stickle Back: when you can see index hairs poking out of someones back through a sweater. Extra poiints if it is a woman.
Saddle Bag with Eyes: a face reserved for high altitude climbers that skimp on the SPF 200
Crown of Idiocy: the standard uniform of the young boulderer, a knit cap or beanie, worn tight and low, regardless of temperature.
Must be hundreds of these. I've passed on most of the truly vulgar ones, which may be some of the best in the right company.

My personal favorite that I believe can be attributed to Russ Walling, gleaned from some internet post years ago:
Goobus (goo-bus): The given to the person who yanked off the starting hold on Midnight Lightning a few years ago while practicing hook moves on the Columbia boulder.
I'm not sure if the word 'goobus' is hyphenated.

"when in doubt, face out" - -offwidth advice
"stalking the pink jaguar in the high grass" -- masturbation (it's a 'catch
and release program...')
"one word, dude..." -- prelude to a thesaurus-quality description of your
most recent #2 episode
("turgid"..."lodgepole"..."slurry" rank high)
"big wall kabuki" -- what it looks like from below when your wall partner is taking a #2 onto a paper plate that's laying on the bed of his/her portaledge and said partner is shining down his/her headlamp
"string of pearls" -- describing the vas deferens of some van dweller who's gone a while without "release"
as for the 'crown of idiocy', "reservoir tip" can also be substituted

Hew Sewellymon, how about this fun filled way to get you're friends attention.
The Limp Huey, it's similar to a noogie, but you make a fist, extend your ring finger and shake it vigorously to loosen the digit up, thereby making it look rather limp. After it's nice and limp, you wind it up and flick it at some part of your best friends anatomy, thereby waking him/her out of their OE induced utopia.

I loved this one from one of the last Climbing or R&I mag, from Largo,
Discribing some explosive s*&t:
"Like grain through a silo"
Great story,

Snail eye is the best FISH-ism! Anyone that has been on the buisness end of the rope on El Cap can relate.

Yep, Bishop is dead. Since Mick Ryan and myself left the entire town has lost its social and ethical compas. No more poker nights, no more fights with the bird kooks, no more fights with the BLM Nazis (Hi Scott) no more Lambada dances at Rustys, no more projectle vomit on the Whisky Creek deck, no more Beer Garden.
Here is what you have left:
A motley gaggle of bouldering kids with no new guide book updates wearing too many bad beanies clogging up the base of every V19.
The woeful poly-pro as a second skin assortment of sub-alpinist hangers on that crowd the door at Wilsons looking for the latest weather report so they can go on a nice safe stroll without getting their Tilly Hat too wet.
And lastly, a whole bong load of glazed over trustafarian hippies that choke the Kava every morning, not realizing that they are thirty something years too late and an SUV too heavy in the wallet to pull it off successfully.
So yes, Bishop as I know it is dead.

Okay, okay...as long as you weren't talking about the "climbing" in Bishop. You are right about everything else. There is no better cragging anywhere with better rock than Rock Creek. The alpine routes within a day's approach are unbeatable. the bouldering is good on the granite(Happy's and Sad's) are chosspiles.

Just remembered this one (I think Russ lent it to Harding at some point)--"Why stop at just one for the road."
So if Russ is gone, and Bishop is indeed dead, who is going to open the all night mule breeding station named "Inyo Ass"?
Damn, that one could make a fella millions, but nooooo, you had to go make daisy chains and fine guys for ordering the night before from the Lodge pay phone...

Two known Charactors in the Bishop area where deemed "Dumber & Dumber" one night in Whiskey Creek.
And I thought that thing that hung out over the front of the belt was "Foo-pah" and the things that hung from the sides over the belt were "Bah-way-jah"?
Loved the "Pressing Fabric" line (possibly from another thread).
Good Luck

Hey Russ, tell everybody how you cure a tapeworm problem. I think a can of Dinty Moore and some Hemostats are involved.
Not exactly a fish-ism, more like a fish remody.
