the abc's of snowboarding.

i'm not coordinated. not one bit.

but, i have friends and family who are.

i have a person at school and a person at home who both dig snowboarding.

i dabble in surfing, but the idea of being strapped onto the board is petrifying.
one thing they have in common, however, is the lingo. (channel Reggie & Otto Rocket...)

i found this snowboarding dictionary online. it's an online forum, so boarders from around the globe like mr.penguin, DaSchiz, and IceFaceRider add their own entries. the best bit is, they give the definition in their snowboarder speak. you'll see.

thought i would quickly give you my favorite new vocabulary words.

ACCESSORY MAN

A snowboarder with every piece of snowboard gear imaginable. He has been known to use it all at the same time whether or not the circumstances call for it.  

Can you think of a percussionist you know like this? Seriously, how many triangle beaters do you really need?  

ARTIC COUGAR

An old lady who goes for really young guys on the slopes and in the lodge. 

BEEF WELLINGTON

Something that's hella big or tricky

The innuendo potential here is earth-shattering.

BETTY

A girl who can't ride (a poser who is a girl). Characteristics include: a Roxy snowboard, sideslipping through park, flirting, being loud and obnoxious, matching jacket, pants, hat, etc.

I think I would rather be an Arctic Cougar... Or just read Jane Austen.

BLASTED A DOOKIE

Seeing someone fall really hard while watching from the lift. e.g. "That kid blasted a dookie."

This is not what I thought it would be... *cue cymbals*

BLAZIN' RAISIN

The old man who's just gunning it down the mountain.

Dr. Martynuik.

CHUMPLES

A fat kid that has no skillz.

Your team.

DEATH COOKIE

A big snowball in the middle of a run frozen to the ground.

hahahahahahahahahaha.

FREAK A LEEK

To take a piss.

FRUIT BOOTER

A word used to describe a skier.

LAWN CHAIR AIR

To jump very high and then to collapse like a lawn chair upon impact.

Very different from the Folded Lawnchair. (Our drumline exercise, of course).

SALAMI SANDWICH

The ridiculously overpriced food at the lodge. i.e. "that food is so salami sandwich."

Stick with me, I'll pack you a gourmet lunch, but for free.

TENDER VITTLES

Young men who go for Arctic Cougars

Yum?

YARD SALE

When a boarder bails so hard that their hat/goggles/etc go flying.
