From what I can tell from a couple of heated discussions I had in the J-Tree section of MP.com with two climbers who have been at it for less than five years:
Sport climbing = any route that is solely bolt protected, regardless of how runout it is.
I was informed that definitions evolve.

"Use that one constantly Jan. I hear it all the time too".
You missed my point. In the old days when we said it, we meant it. Nowadays people still say it and we keep reading here about injuries and fatalities because people then drop their team mates. In this case the words haven't changed, the meaning has.

Manky.
As in manky pro, because you can't always get what you want.
Style.
As in....
Free climbing becomes an art only when there is absolute freedom. This means freedom from external aids (Direct physical aid, equipment, technology, etc.) and a continually increasing reliance upon one's internal powers of mind, body, and spirit. The ultimate aim of free climbing is the realization of self and nature.
Style First,
John Bachar
