A dyno is a full on, all 4 points off, type of move. A lunge is a dynamic move of 1, 2, or 3 points of movement. This is how we use the term around this locality. I don't remember it having any origin in sport climbing. It came out of bouldering. Am I wrong about this?
We still use the that term "hairball" around here. I think that came from "You must have more hair on your balls than I do!" Then it progressed to: "That was way hairball!", "That's a way hairballed move!"
etc.
Anybody ever use the term Ano-bano? That might be what you would call yourself, or another, if they were taking too long to rack up, and systematically getting everything perfect for a good lead. In other words, being a little anal-retentive.
A friend of mine still likes to use the term: Moty. As in: I still haven't got my moty working! It's short for motivation.

Tami, did you know that Yellow Point is named for the point beyond which
you're sure to die if you keep driving north amongst those crazies up there?
Look it up.

I still can't figure out how "send" came to replace a simple "do".

I have "bicycled" on the Apron because it was almost impossible to stand in one place on some of that damn polish in EB's. Once, while caught in a thunderstorm, I bicycled and hucked a big mo for the chains to keep from taking a screamer.
Yeah, buddy!!

The internet is a funny place. A search produced this from a photobucket account of one "scgrossman", whom I suspect we all know.

Beta. I barely remember Betamax, but the term lives on. Why not update the term to getting a GoPro download, or YouTubing the moves?

"Aren't you Bob Murray, the lunger?"
"I prefer to think of myself as a 'swinger'."
Can't believe I beat Randisi to it!

Lifting yer leg up to put yer foot on a hold outside of a crack is 'gastoning'?
I thought it was just climbing. Silly me.

dyno, lunge, huck, fly, throw, toss, leap, same thing
now that im pushing 60, i prefer fatpoint ascents. in fact typical beta for how i now climb goes something like this:
"wallow the crack to the knee rest, then tard across to the all points off down-dyno, then simultaneous two handed rope pull/bicycle moves followed by a belly friction roll-over onto the ledge. moderate grunt/wheeze/shake until you can grab a handful of weeds. immediately lower to beers."
im not getting older, im getting better

At one time quite a few climbers around here used to use the word "spooge". As in, "Hey, do you have a little extra chalk that I could spooge?"
