No, actually, I think those were the Magellanites (with their pre 3.15 315's). Of course, then they got out of it when they uploaded 3.15 (although if they would have listened early on, they wouldn't have wandered at all, but they didn't listen to the instructions about hand-waving).

Guest Zuckerruebensirup Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Doppler:I thought a "geoSneaker" was what you found in a "sneaker cache"... 'GeoSneakers' are the quiet shoes you wear when out cache hunting so that the 'mundanes' don't catch you in the act. (Or, so that your spouse doesn't catch you sneaking out of the house, off to spend the day geocaching, instead of getting projects done around the house.) Quote Link to comment
Guest urbo Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 geoGumps = geocachers that dont read or follow the directions on the cache description. example.. leaving golfballs in a non golfball cache sanscache = a cache thats not were its supposed to be geoballers = geocachers that leave used golf balls or used tennis balls in exchange for something thats actually useful trashcache = cache full of useless stuff like used golf balls or used tennis balls nazis = security guards interfering with geocaching activities hanger = geocache that hangs under an object. such as an altoids tin with magnets underneath a table at an outdoor cafe' kicker = buried geocache that results in really dirty shoes from you kicking around diver = underwater geocache roadie = geocaching partner george = a wheres george dollar debris = soiled condoms or underwear found while rummaging through the woods looking for a geocache shmutz = unidentifiable substance on you or your geocache gerban (jerban)= urban geocache, not to be confused with gerbil thats all for now.. i really enjoyed reading this thread! urbo Quote Link to comment
Guest george70 Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 how about: squirrel - someone who hides more than they find crowder - someone who places a cache really close to another existing caches lost boy - someone who's coordinates are 100 ft from the cache. trustfundinan - someone who finds time to bag multiple caches on weekdays. cach-bag - the backpack that has all you need when you go out geocaching... just grab and go cluless - only takes the coodinates with him when he looks for a cache. cluso - someone who constantly stubles on caches, more through dumb luck than anything else. hows that? george Quote Link to comment
Guest ClayJar Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 One that I use extensively is: quote:chrome (pl. chrome): Abbreviated form of "mile(s), as the crow flies". Derived from the further abbreviation of the already shortened "crow-mile(s)". Like "deer", "elk", and "fish", the singular and plural are the same. You wouldn't say "it's 1.35 chromes to the cache"; you'd say "it's 1.35 chrome to the cache" or "the cache is 1.35 chrome... um... *that* way". Note: SI-compliant countries (translation: everywhere but the US) may use "croak" (crow-kilometers) in place of "crome", but there are other words they can use. We needed a good one for our system.

Jeremy No, a GEOLurker is what I feel like when I am the only adult male at a county park With small children and their mothers watching as I walk around in the trees and bushes looking for a cache. Which brings me to: Cacher-basher, A mother in said parks that calls the "GEOfficer" on her cell phone, and reports you as a perv. (hasn't happened to me,....yet.) Quote Link to comment
Guest ClayJar Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 How about... cashier: The person who finds the cache. ("cache here") Now for something really different... Here are some real words that have "cach" in them: cachalot: "See sperm whale." cachepot: "An ornamental container for a flowerpot." cachet: (a mark of quality, seal, part of a postmark, or a wafer-capsule for bad tasting drugs) cachexia: "Weight loss, wasting of muscle, loss of appetite, and general debility that can occur during a chronic disease." cachinnate: "To laugh hard, loudly, or convulsively; guffaw." cachou: "A pastille used to sweeten the breath." cachucha: "An Andalusian solo dance in 3/4 time." viscacha: "Any of several gregarious, burrowing South American rodents of the genera Lagostomus and Lagidium, related to and resembling the chinchilla."

Guest Choberiba Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 now exactly what Misguided One felt like. It's not a good feeling to get an evil eye by an overprotective mother when all you are doing is watching your child play in the sand. This is one reason I always carry a Palm with me to the park. If I seem to be more interested in what it says than what the kid is doing I must be a dad. Quote Link to comment

I had to archive a cache in a tot-lot for this very reason. I spend a lot of time with my daughter. People know me pretty well at the local parks and I'm fairly comfortable there, so I hid a cache at one point. I thought it might be a fun thing for parents of small children to do. People without kids hunted the cache and this probably made the parents who were there at the time uncomfortable. I used to get funny looks from mothers if my daughter wasn't standing right next to me, so I know exactly what Misguided One felt like.
