Just came across this apparently American saying for the first time whilst reading an article highlighting the doubt around Steck's Annapurna ascent.
Regardless, I couldn't help but feel my eyes flip whilst rolling into the back of my skull.
Why do the yanks have to add such stigma to conventional practices by making every man and their dog become your bloody brother?
...and yes, this is little more than a rant, skilfully hidden with poor use of big words.
