Bill Price was walking out of camp, heading for Separate Reality, when he told me that the gear was "bomber". That was the first time I had ever heard that term.

Pod People
For people walking with bouldering pads on their backs.
Richard M Nixon belay
30 feet of slack in the belay when the climber has 25 feet to fall to the ground/ledge
A nasty threat to a climber who's just called you every dirty name in the book. Or if the leader has just kicked a rock down the route.
Sometimes has been threatened.....has never been implemented.....as far as I know.
Get yer arse up that pitch!
Get on with it you dork! We're about to get benighted!
Rope salad

Yellow pointing:
Looking at a route and deciding to go do something else that day.
I'm definitely adding that to my climbing vocabulary. I can yellow point any climb on any given day.

Choss Monster has been a term used to define those of us that find climbing on somewhat, or maybe not so somewhat crappy rock, challenging and fun in a weird way. That would include gardening and munging through dirt. Which could be kinda like groveling instead of climbing.
