Gravity's favorite argument against where you parked your house.

means The sloping surface of a mountain, running from its base up toward the summit.

from A straightforward compound — 'mountain,' from Old French 'montaigne' (ultimately from Latin 'mons'), plus 'side' in its old sense of a bounding surface or flank, as in 'hillside' or 'riverside.' No hidden story here; English just glued two plain words together to name the obvious — the part of the mountain you'd actually stand on.
