"Belay that" is a nautical term meaning hold off, or wait. It comes from the use of a "belaying pin" -- a wooden rod inserted into a rail, around which you wrap the end of a rope to hold that rope tight in position -- to "hold it right there". "Belay my last" would be "hold off on what I just said". "Belay that, mates!" would be "hold off on what your doing for a moment, guys". Colorful language the old salts had, no?

What is the difference between top belay and bottom belay in rock climbing?
If you belay from the top of the route, or from the base. Normally you would bottom belay. If for some reason you approached the climb from the top of the cliff you would do a top-belay. Also, if you are doing a really long (multi-pitch) climb, you and your partner leapfrog eachother up the cliff - each doing a length of the rope at a time. This means that every other "pitch" would be a top belay.
