Looks like it is a tie between Yellow-pointing and Turtling.
I will wait until it is no longer a tie - thanks for all your votes!
We came up with another one this weekend at Lover's Leap:
Fink (v) To throw down your rope, or otherwise scoop a route from another who has obvious intentions on said route and was there first.
"The Korean group of four totally finked us on Corrugation Corner."

Wow, it was an honor just to be nominated. Do I need to prepare a speech? Rent a tux?
Hopefully "turtling" will become the new " Tebowing," and hoards of boulderers will be tossed supine on the ground and documented on dedicated Facebook pages and honored by professional athletes in touchdown celebrations and walk-off home run dances.
I will send my info later; a home inspector is snooping through my basement, attic, and closets with the potential buyers as I type, and Sedona is only 12 hours from our future home (just googled that) so I'm sure the guide will get used sometime in 2013, and many years after.
Cheers, and thank you!

T-Rex has already been defined as a person with negative ape-index.
Discuss your "Mr.Burns" further?

Allright- I sort of compiled a full list of new climbing terms for the record. With 200 posts I had to do a little cropping. I excluded any term I had heard in use before this thread and a few others just cuz they were vague, non-climbing related or I was getting tired of cut and paste.
Here it is: Turtling was our "winner". BTW
Attitude Sickness: A state of complaining and grumbling.
Alzheimer's Onsight: redpointing a route after not climbing it for years, and /or forgetting all the beta.

Be-daye. Like benighted but in broad daylight. Retreating in fear.
Belaybesitter n: the third person brought to the crag to watch your kids.
Belaytio (or Bellatio) : a really, really good belay.
Beta Sandbag Flash : it's when you flash a route despite been (purposely) given bad/wrong beta.
Bi-lingual Ascent :That's when there was some French-Freeing involved
Bitch-Clip : When the draws have been hung up, and you are way below the point where you could put the draw on the bolt. Nonetheless, you reach as high as you can to clip the rope into the pre-hung draw, regardless of whether the previous one is in your armpit or not.

Cragnostic: One who believes it is impossible to climb a certain line. He sees a line, but is skeptical it can be done.
Cruxified: Stemmed out on thin stuff, two feet below your next clip and 12 above your last. Frozen, nailed up and not moving. Unwilling to downclimb. Unable to go up.
Daisy-chainer : A laid-back individual, sorta careless, best avoided.

Gangroping v: When a climb is getting railed like a sexy grandma by a group of young men.
Gravity Creeps n: unseen devils that weigh you down, randomly unclip things and the like. possible excuse for a fail/bail.
Gugglimucchi: [v]or [n](Several possible uses): 1) To totally epic on a rappel.. especially if there is stupidity involved. 2)Totally missing a rappel route or otherwise getting stuck on a rappel. 3) Any trip where your partner totally wiggs out on you.
FLOATING DECIMAL POINT: Perhaps the term to use when a second ascensionist seriously downgrades the rating given by the first ascent party?
