I usually winc at "uh-ohs" and "oh shit" but for my last climb I think the phrase that took the cake for what you don't want to hear would be...
"Have you seen my friend I came here with? He said he was going to go free-solo a route and I haven't seen him in a while..."

:shock:

We did find him btw

This was just something I saw at the gym, but it was pretty funny...
A guy tied into rope and proceeded to climb. When he was about 25 ft up, his belayer goes "Oh shit! I'm using the wrong rope!!!"
The climber frantically grabs on and looks down (like this-> :shock: ) just to see his belayer on the right rope and laughing his head off.

I've heard someone say that before. You look down real quick and say, "what the F_ _ _ is going on down there?"
