Default whitewater guide slang

Some rafters call kayakers "speed bumps", or if they get between your raft
and a wall or rock, "KY Jelly" or just "KY".
In the arctic, clients are sometimes called "snowbirds" because they show up
just for the warm weather.

I'm a kayaking writer working on an essay about raft guide slang.
Anyone have any great words, terms they'd like to share and explain?
Thanks.
