new skydiving expressions.

[SpeedRacer 1]

A long time ago we had a contest to see who could come up with new words describing things that happen to you in skydiving.
for example:
anticipraytion.....That feeling you get between the time you throw your pilot chute and when you actually feel your parachute lift you up.
can anyone come up with some more?
(there oughta be a word for the kind of person who tries to use any lame excuse for someone else to owe beer - we have a LOT of these types at my dropzone, so could someone please come up with a good word for it???)

How bout an "airgasm" It was the feeling I had the other day while passing through 4500 Ft on a solo dive. I was in a sit/stand spinning like crazy before I went belly to pitch. I always see guys on videos at our DZ doing that and thought it looked fun. It Is!!!!!!! "Houston? That place is full of Crack heads and debutantes."- Hank Hill

No, it's new, I think. There was no need for a term to express the concept until dz.com....
As far as a name for the people who try to weasel beer for un-beer-worthy accomplishments, the phrasing in the "beer rules" page always makes me laugh...I think it's "unscrupulously thirsty skydivers" or something.

Sorry, That's been in common Usenet usage since the mid 90's, and used in dial-up BBS's into the 80's at the very least.
