Well apparently (my wife always says to me; "when you say...It actually means...) I use many of those phrases and/or words and thought it might be useful for people so they can better understand me;
Adventure: Anything dangerous, fun, exhausting, different, brings adrenaline or is fun.
Best Wife In The World: Lets me go on adventures, goes herself and lets me take the kids.
Vacation: Get ready for a workout, every minute we will be hiking, biking, swimming or exploring. There is no time to sit around doing nothing, (What some might call relaxation).
Relaxation: Biking, hiking, swimming or exploring.
Day Trip: Leave at 3 A.M., mountain bike, hike, canyoneer, or a combination, 20-100 miles (must do at least two separate trails or it is a waste) then return home between 11-12 PM. Ex. Moab Hiking Trip: Leave 3 A.M. Hike; Delicate, Entire Primitive Loop, Professor Creek, Corona arch 27 miles total, home by midnight.
Easy Bike Ride: Aprrox. offroad 10 miles
Medium Bike Ride: 10-20 off road miles
Difficult Bike Ride: 20-100 off road miles
Adventure Bike Ride: No real map, I have only heard about the trail, and it is fairly long.
Yes: My response when asked if I would like to do an adventure ride.
Singletrack: Wide enough for one bike, what I like to ride.
Doubletrack: Wide enough for two bikes, it can ruin any ride very quickly.
Road Running: Satan's form of Exercise punishment
Trail Running: Not as bad as road running.
Wound: "Adventure Injury" received when being adventurous (it has many categories).
Scar: "Adventure Scar" - comes from good adventure wounds.
Whining/Complaining: What some do when they get an adventure injury - not tolerated unless a bone in sticking out of the skin then "some" is tolerated.
Someone I knew had that same problem and died the next day, so when you die, what should we do with your bike?: My response to whining or complaining about adventure injuries.
Some: Them - "oww this hurts (appropriate)" me - "That was a sweet fall and will leave an awesome adventure scar".
Celebrate: What we do when we get an adventure Injury
Doctor: 1- Who you go to for treatment of the best adventure injuries.
2- Someone you go to when sick, so they can tell you "I don't know, it must be a virus."
Virus: Apparently anything that makes you sick with no explanation.
Into The Wild: My response when my wife asks me where I am going.
Cell Phone: The reason you go into the wild.
Camera: For documenting adventures.
The Average Man...: My response when asked about adventure related items. Ex; "Does your broken neck hurt?", "The average man would be screaming in pain, but I feel okay" / "How was your ride?" "It was really good, but, "The average man" would have died."
Christmas tree hunt: 1-3 feet of snow, colder than 20 degrees, stiff wind blowing and everyone on snowshoes.
Christmas tree hunt: 1-3 feet of snow, colder than 20 degrees, stiff wind blowing and everyone on snowshoes.
Walk Faster: My response to most people who have to walk with me. "A slow walk is no walk at all" -President Gordon B. Hinckley to James E. Faust.
Blah, Blah, Blah: What I think when someone's story is boring or too long.
Reader's Digest Version: What I say when someone's story is too long.
We Are Leaving In Five Minutes: We really are leaving in five minutes, if you are not ready you will be left.
