Okay, netlanders, I've got some questions that I've always been wanting to
ask but always felt too foolish to. The jargon of those who jump from perfectly
good airplanes for no apparent reason is rich, and I'm still uncertain of
the meanings of some terms:

a 'Boogie' -- Is this just another term for an organized getting together of
jumpers for sport and competition?

a 'freak jump' -- Apparently some method of falling. Is this the
'human badminton birdie' negative arch position?

a 'dirt dive' -- I THINK this means practicing RW maneuvers on the ground.
If not, it sounds painful.

Could someone please clue in a novice jumper so I too will be able to toss
these terms around? Also, if you are familiar with any other bizarre skydiving
expressions, I'd be interested in hearing them (along with definitions, please)
