I'd imagine that their slang is part of the pretense required to fit into the trends and norms within that particular counterculture.

Lifting's a sport for them to engage in. Beats doing drugs and getting hammered in a ditch. Live and let live, I suppose.
It's more of a tongue-in-cheek type of slang in a certain portion (Misc.) of a certain forum (bodybuilding forums). A lot of the members there are actually intelligent. They pay heavy attention to nutrition and discuss what research literature has to say. It's just like here at PF where there are many subforums for certain topics. On the Misc. broken English is the thing and sometimes it is difficult to know who is serious and who is joking around. There have been bad cases in the past where the member is serious, but due to the nature of the forum it wasn't taken seriously. You kind of have to been there for many years to see how it has evolved.

Now there is a new misc of extreme miscers, they called old misc beta misc.
The slang and extreme views on numisc is off the charts. Its a bit like 4chan for BB'ers. They do raids on old misc, so a lot of the weird stuff on misc is numisc guys raiding and trolling.
The slang also helps finding out where you are in the chain of illegal sources of AAS supply.
The dumb talk is actually clever concealment.
