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

Jeez Climbrunride,
Those are funny. I must've been climbing with the wrong crowd these 7 years, cause all of my one-liners go like this:
On belay
Belay on
Climbing
Climb on
Fuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkk!!!
You OK?
Goddammit...
Climbing!
Climb on

Make that move or six foot groove.

"No mistake or flat pancake"
"Edging skills or hostpital bills"
When lowering someone off into a crowd, instead of yelling "heads-up" just yell "Ass-as-a-hat"

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?"
Predictable and cliche, I know. I'll go back over there now.
