There is some self evident slang in climbing: 'crater', 'top out', 'whipper', etc. are obviously.
What about the origins of 'jugging', 'hand dogging', 'carrots', 'fifi hook', 'bongs', RURPs (I know what it stands for but it's a strange term), etc. that are a bit odder or more obscure?
On a related note and not being a route establisher, how do climbing areas get naming themes, just grows organically?
