[QUOTE="mushmouse, post: 149107, member: 4929"] Here is some home made terminology :) suconds: A measurement of time. How long it takes that leech that has been hanging around all morning to latch onto your arm the moment you start working a crevice in still water. sedimental The warm and fuzzy feeling one has for their equipment when you check the tailings in the catch pan..and find no gold loss. toolettes syndrome A verbal expulsion of profanities when you realise you have left your shovel at home/back at the river. rocktomism Self-convincing belief that you will remember to avoid stepping on that wobbly boulder that put you in the creek, ..only to do it again 5 minutes later... blizard a phenonomen that occurs when you have a lunch break and are suddenly surrounded by a hundred skinks weighders Waterproof outerwear that becomes heavier through the day when you realise that home made patch job just didnt quite take. clazy You know you should puddle the solid grey stuff for its possible gold bearing contents -but you can't be bothered. Too clazy. tarpidation The internal anxiety one feels as you drive to your favorite spot, praying no-one else has set up camp first. lapsadary Taking 'one of a kind' rocks home only to realise that you have 324 other 'one of a kind' rocks that are identical [/QUOTE]
