Examples of "Mountainese":
"It's a little technical."
-- Last time we rode here, we cracked a frame, had 3 snake bites, and taco-ed a wheel.
"This is the last climb."
-- This is really not the last climb, in fact, we're not even halfway. but if i tell you that, chances are you'll throw down your bike and won't talk to me for a month.
"I found this kick-ass trail!"
-- Pack your ID and some KY jelly, because chances are we'll spend the night in jail for trespassing.
"A yard sale"
-- A horrendous crash that leaves all your various "wares" -- water bottles, pump, tool bag, etc. -- scattered as if on display for sale.
" 'rhoid buffing"
-- Going down a hill so steep that your butt touches the rear wheel
"Hope you got your granny gear working!"
-- We're going to do some never-ending, impossible climbs. (A granny gear is the lowest gear available on a bike, designed for ultra-steep uphill climbing.)

Get the mountainese mug.mercury mountaineer - a mid-size luxury sport utility vehicle (SUV) that was sold by Mercury from 1996 until 2010. Sharing many of its features with the Ford Explorer, the vehicles were virtually identical in terms of hardware.
The problem with these vehicles is that they are prone to rusting by the rear near the gas tank(opposite side too) and under carriage and can commonly be found at used car lots.
It's a great vehicle for hauling groceries or soccer mommy vehicle
If maintained properly other wise
It's a decent beater vehicle until you trade up.
Also see Chevy trailblazer & blazer.
