Have to agree with the three comments above (angry, dingus, valarc) the folks I climb with sometimes threaten penalty slack, by way of slagging you when you whine or pull on gear. BUT it is also understood that if it were to ever actually be done... the real penalty would be sumarily meeted out upon the belayer.
As to taking a lead fall... climb your best, ignore the beta, clip as best you can, and never say "I can't". When you fall, people will get the message. THEN, get over it and climb on.
edited to clarify which coments as other beat me to the post
