Beta

Beta is climbing jargon that designates information about a climb. In rock climbing this may include information about a climb's difficulty, crux, style, length, quality of rock, ease to protect, required equipment, and specific information about hand or foot holds. For alpine climbs, beta may include information about the length and difficulty of the approach, availability of water on the climb and the approach, ease of exiting the route before completing it, descent information, perhaps even useful logistic information for climbs in foreign countries.

"Hey the crux of that route is intense, you want some beta?"

It's Beta

1) A shield for developers to hide behind.
2) The battle cry of fanbois who have their noses so far up a studios ass they can smell their lunch.
3) A pathetic excuse for collecting money for a released product that with each patch introduces more bugs and breaks other things that worked perfectly.

beta

Directly translates to "my child" in Hindi, but is often used more as a general term of endearment amongst friends and a way to refer to a friend/loved one.

Let's catch up? I miss you so much beta!

The Beta

The optimal method of doing something. It's the best possible plan/decision for the given situation; a good idea. It's the move.

Smuggling drinks into the movie theater is the beta.

"Damn Chris, these hot dogs really are the beta."

"Fuck bro, downing half a bottle of vodka the night before an exam was not the beta."
