Re: so what do they really mean

It's just climber lingo. Generally it means keep your shirt on...

Re: so what do they really mean

Basically it means - showing off. Some people (generally young men) will climb any route (regardless of temperature) with their shirt off (and in their jeans). If it 10 Celsius and you are climbing with your shirt off, this is blantantly posing. Climbing in your sandals, with your shoes untied, soloing easy routes when their are girls around, etc. etc. - All examples of posing... Is that clearer?
