Lost in Translation

Crossfitters speak a different language. Sometimes I feel like I need a decoder to understand what is being talked about in normal conversations at the box. This is a hilarious video featuring Bob Harper from the Biggest Loser (relatively new to the Crossfit community) helping us decode the Crossfit lingo.

This also makes me wonder, why do we do this to ourselves? It seems like anytime I try to take up a new hobby, I have to learn a new language. Is it to bring ourselves up or to keep others out? Regardless, language can be such a barrier in attracting new folks. How will you ensure that the new face in your box doesn't get lost in translation?
