I think that’s on OnX. Once they started “defending the User’s copyright,” 

What are you talking about?

1. Democrats 

2. Republicans 

3. All political organizations, NGOs, and 90% of non-profits

4. People who climb exclusively plastic but call themselves "rock" climbers

Here's a start. But search any of the terms/names mentioned there. It's come up a bunch on here, but I don't know how many of the posts are left.

99.9% of social media “influencers”

Extra biners left behind after the piece is extended with an Alpine Draw....ick.

agree... but I think we may be losing the battle on this term

When someone says - on trad

Agree, but it’s a subtle thing. I usually say trad climbing or doing something ‘on gear’ to mean ‘on trad climbing gear’  as opposed to bolts or natural anchors. I can understand the thought process there.

Just like when people say they went skinning when in fact it's skiing, just a weird way to announce extra gear involved,  possibly a humble brag

When people quote themselves for no apparent reason   ;)

People shouting "rock" before trundling and "rope" before throwing while giving no time for anyone beneath them to do anything about it. Like literally, what's the point???

People that call them alpine draws but have never climbed a single pitch of alpine in their life.

Is one pitch enough? Asking for a friend.

Under your metrics can we call them alpine draws if we have scrambled alpine pitches? 

What would we call them if not alpine draws?

whats in a name? Would a crag dog wag bag still smell as sweet if it was called by a different name? [turd rescue envelope?]

Maybe we call them extenderz

If we did people would gatekeep the name when they aren't actually extended

sling

You have to at least climb the Grand to earn the right to call them alpine draws.  Otherwise it’s “sling” to you, buddy.  Otherwise we are not able to properly stratify ourselves and it’s chaos.  

If you do have to mention them, such as when querying an experienced alpine climber for sage advice, be sure to cast your eyes down and look only at your feet. 

And definitely don’t let me catch you wearing a “dive watch” if you’re not certified!
