A person who is unskilled at climbing, and by extension, unskilled at life in general. In distinction from a β€œgumby”, which can be a temporary state of being, a gumboid is innately unskilled at climbing.
1. Look at this gumboid trying to climb the pink one in the corner when he can’t even send V3s.
2. This gumboid couldn’t send any actual lines his first time climbing outside, so rather than admit he sucks at climbing, he made up his own β€œFAs” and spammed our crag’s Mountain Project page to have something to tick. He gave them really inflated gym grades too.

The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.

The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.
Mate: How are you?
Dumped: I'm a hungry ghost, man.

Mate: What'd ya do last night?
HG: Urg. I hungry ghosted around The Oxford for a few hours, then walked home past her house, and HIS car was there...

Mate: Why'd you call man?! It's just rampant hungry ghostery.

An aircraft motion in which the vehicle pitches up and climbs, and then pitches down and descends, accompanied by speeding up and slowing down as it goes "downhill" and "uphill", but really really quickly. This is the lesser known longitudinal mode, shorter than phugoid mode.
