Aunty, Aunty, Aunty, you're killing me.

More:

Leader: The guy who always hits the hole first in your fishing group. The length of your leader depends on how many more fish he catches, i.e., since I was catching few fish, I switched over to a shorter leader.

Leader Dispenser: Usually a line like "Hey! I just saw two roll back here!", it is intended to bring the leader back to your position, so you can get in front, thereby "dispensing with the leader".

Pulling Plugs: Digging into a pouch of RedMan

Good on the Sticks: Like John Bonham, can weave through tangled melodies, keeping the ship straight.

Guides: The things on your rod that the line goes through (why do they advertise these for up to $300 bucks per day? Even my good rods only cost about that much, and I get to keep them at the end of the day).

Float fishing: Digging through the sale bin at GI Joe's for Thills and dinks.

Drift fishing: Racking your brain to follow the logic in some of these threads. Also known as trying to "catch the drift". Often harder than it sounds.

Practicing sound catch and release: Pulling your waders down every hour or so to "release" the "sounds" that have accumulated there after too much beer last night and too much coffee this morning.

Snagging: Grabbing the last jelly donut at Texaco.

Jig: A dance for celebrating a recent steelhead catch, or for getting feeling back in frostbitten feet. A Jigger is either the person doing the jig, or another name for the flask that also is intended to warm up the fisher's extremities.

Flossing: Wearing a g-string fishing.

Crackers: The softball sized rocks that are thrown at jet skiers in Sultan and Monroe.

Okie Drifter: Former bass fisherman from the Dustbowl, now fishes for steelhead from a Cataraft.

Driving: On your way to the river to fish.
Camping: Fishing with a tent.
Hiking: Travelling from hole to hole.
Shopping: Buying fishing gear.
Working: Thinking of fishing.
Sleeping: Wasting time when you could be fishing.
Watching Movies: "Quality Time" on the couch while you tie leaders and make slinkies.
Fishing: Sweating, swearing, bruising, scratching, drinking, smoking, swearing, farting, laughing, pointing, tripping, falling, spending time and money, freezing, grumbling, crying, all while trying to get a tug on your rod.

Ok, Ok...any serious ones?

slinky: parachute cord filled with buckshot, used for weight.

wool: yarn, eh.

Boondoggle: Drifting your boat at or about the same speed as the current so one cast runs the entire length of the run.

Zipperlip: I'd tell ya', but then I'd have to kill ya'. Secret fishing hole.

Lowholed: When someone steps in front of you as you move down a drift, or sets up their boat in front of you or your boat. Not nice.

Farmin' 'em: Repeatedly missing strikes, as in "feeding the fish" all your bait.

Seam: "line" between fast and slow water, where the fish tend to line up.

Root Wad, or Root Ball: Stump in the water.

Knuckle Buster: A reel that either has no drag, or has the anti-reverse turned off, so that the reel handle spins backwards as line leaves the reel. Ouch.
