Cavers Terms:

[acenthahole]

Spin-off of "Speleopolitician Terms"........

Arm Chair Cavers - Old goats that drive up & down Jewett Rd. and check to make sure that; 1) Serindipity hasn't caved in, 2) Dorton Knob Smokehole's Historic entrance hasn't been closed via BFR, and 3) Nobody is visiting a closed cave.

Sounds like great fun! ;D ;D

Craminator - when your caving buddy forces you into one of those itty bitty cave passages but of course the Craminator is too large to follow!

I guess I got bored. Needed something to post.

That Cave Just Made Me It's B!+c#!!! - I sh@t myself, and peed my cavesuit.

It Pinches Out - I'll go through it if you'll go through it first.

Getting Rocked - An event in which you will have to empty your pack to find the twenty pound rock that someone shoved in there while you weren't looking.

Pig F#c%#r - Awell trained caver you admire and respect.

Speleopolitician - The only thing worse than an arm chair caver.

I'll save some for later.

try these on for size and see if you know any who they apply to;

WANKER : those who harass or or torment other cavers, and/ or those who trash, spray paint, or destroy caves, in most cases these persons are all the same ;D

CRACK MONKEY: those who listen to craminators

[L Roebuck]

pseudo caver - those who harass real cavers. (see wanker for full definition)

[paul snook]

doink; a caver who has no clue what caving is realy all about, ie. arm chair cavers and speleo-politicians

D.A.R.C : Dumb-A** Redneck Caver : this is more comon than most people realize, if you've ever used the term " hey yall watch this" before doing somthing dumb, then you are one,

Is it caver suicide to mention these forums by name and bash them? I'm not sure if I care or not but I've been thinking about it.

Caver Savers - Those bumpy strips on the side of the interstate that keep you from running off the road at 3 AM after a 20 hour caving trip.

Caver suicide? Well it is nice to be able to express your opinion if you like. I suggest you express yourself in a reasonable way. Bashing people or what they do isn't polite and usually doesn't get you anything but labeled as a trouble maker etc. There are constructive ways to suggest change to improve bad situations. Perhaps that would be a survivable way for you to deal with what bothers you. However having said all that - there are individuals that cannot be reasoned with. Ignore them as they are trolls simply trying to get a response. Some people online assume strange personality traits that they would not dare let out in public face to face. Cavers are people and people are strange.

remember : "everyone is someone elses wierdo"

Private messaging works to discuss issues outside the forum and public view. I'm all ears if you need to chat.

PS: "Caver savers" is a good one!
