So you are sitting in your local spin class, and in comes said gal or guy. Wearing his/her race shirt, or maybe team gear, or full tri suit. They are always pimped out. You are minding your business when you hear the tri chatter. I did this race, i’m training for this race, my zone 3 HR is such and such. You mind your business, because you do Triathlon for you, but you wonder, why does this guy/gal? He/she preaches to the instructor about training methods, VO-2 max, eating habits during class. If you have anything race related on yourself(tri/Du/running) he/she deluges you with their Athlinks profile and race plan for 09…You manage to get away, and as you are slogging through winter miles on your treadmill, you see said triathlete, doing lunge step ups in full red tri unitard glory. I cant wait till Spring…
This calls for full nuclear (nook-u-lar?) annihilation: invade his personal space while wearing only a Speedo. If that doesn’t do it, go scorched earth: read the “strange denizens of the pool” thread for ideas, and prepare to drop sack on his toiletries in the locker room.
I was at the gym running the other day on the indoor track (I’m burned out permanently on the treadmill) while wearing a tech-T with a race logo on it, real running shorts and clipping around the indoor running track passing the walkers and joggers on the inside lane, including the obligatory fellow in sweats with a towel around his head shadow boxing as he jogs and skips around the track (unusual).
I suddenly realized that I was the guy you are describing. At least I bet I was to the other people in the gym. I don;t talk to otehr people about racing, etc. while I’m at the gym, but just the same, the average fitness person trying to lose a few pounds probably sees my wife and I coming and thinks, “… Fitness freaks…”.
So yeah, despite the fact that I don’t talk the game as the fellow you describe does, I’m likely that guy to a lot of people at the gym… 
ANything less than the full red one piece, you are no such person
