Trad climber says:
Sport climbing is neither.
Trad is rad.

Yeah. Trad is rad: If you're someone's dad's dad!

If I let go here, am I going to swing?
(In this case the answer was, "Yeah, about 15 feet, watch out for the tree.")

I'm guessing your about thirty years late on that 1998 attribution, Micronut. Though I didn't hear it until it fell out of the mouth of the Colonel in '79.
what about;
"Too rad for trad"

I wish I could take credit for this one, but it's a saying of another wall climber:
"Watching aid climbing is like watching two turtles f#&king.
Only another turtle could find it interesting."

Don't think anyone mentioned this one yet, heard it from some crusty old guy on the east side.
In a stemming corner -
"spread your legs and trust the rubber!"
Or another one totally incomprehensible to anyone but climbers.
"Alright this pitch is super slabby early but way exposed at the crux, just dyno for that sloper, don't worry, there's a bomber stopper. Just don't get gripped, fire the crux, float to that #2 splitter and you'll send it."
And of course -
"Yeah, it should go, you totally got it dude."

When I was climbing in Czech Republic, my Czech buddies were cussing in czech;...I asked them what they were saying.....(We have cuss words like S.O.B, and M.F, and B.S.....really don't make too much sense literally....).......they said that it was hard to translate....but literally;...they were saying, "May a dick grow out of your forehead."
Vasclav; the man who said ,"may a dick grow out of your forehead."

"TEN-D MY @#$%ing @$$!!!" ~heard on both coasts
"Bring your chicken wings" ~from the Cal Dome guidebook
"Climbing!" "Climb on!" ... "Falling!" "Fall on!" ~6-year old girls at Mission Cliffs
Was it Herman who said the hardest part about mountaineering was, "Peeing through 4" of clothing with a 3" pecker"?
"Squid. Giant alpine squid." ~Croft article from latest Alpinist.
"Furry undercling" ~no comment
"The French Blow" ~ambiguous
And I can't believe no one's mentioned: "Hey man, are you in a good spot?"

Before belaying someone I will say:
"oh, I have narcolepsy, I hope that is not a problem..."
and my recent fave when someone is halfway up just hanging on the rope:
"Are you climbing, or should I get you a PO Box?"
