Trail lingo

[Micheal Artindale]

I have read some RRs and have noticed that I do not understand all of the
lingo used.

Is there a dictionary or a glossery that someone can point me to....

Whats a switch back?

Any others?

Thanks,

Micheal

Look. You're doing this all wrong. You're supposed to come in here with
a huge chip on your shoulder and explain to everybody why we're all
elitist assholes, then eventually flame out and end up a pathetic
sniping lurker like FrightDog. Or, if you're truly one of the greats,
tell us all to go **** ourselves in a grand exit, then start posting
the next day like nothing had ever happened. Trying to joing the Army
is worth extra points, and getting rejected is worth even more.

Please try harder.

Anyway, to answer your question:

I have been posting here, and reading for over a year. There is only a
select few that annoy me, and since I put one on a kill file, it is much
nicer here.

Why dont you try to be nice. You sound like one of the easterners so
dispised in the west. Probably a Bush supporter to boot.
