Should the Bachar-Yerrian fall into the context of climbing qua climbing, or rather, art qua climbing?
Snuggie.

What is 'Mugwump', in the literary definition of the word?
It seems familiar, like something from a JK Rowling book...

It's from the Naked Lunch (giveaway clue for the "Homosexual" stumper in the line from a book thread as well), google mugwump in images and you'll get the depiction they used in the movie of the same name

I named my cat Fric.
Whenever he coughed something up, it made a distinctly 'fricative' sound.

A bilabial fricative is a phone whose place of articulation is bilabial and whose manner of articulation is fricative.
Sez so on Wikipedi.

Nifty, I like words.
There's more to words than just lesser used ones.
Colloquialism.
Let's use it cleverly.

Or "Ack!" or Bill.
"Dirt me" is a colloquialism not usually heard when climbing in gyms.

Edit: Lolli, you mean like Cain in Kung Fu?

When my old dog Lincoln curls up next to me and peers into my eyes, I see a jive in his orbs that breaks me down to a basic lever.
