Your own little sayings

[5v3d3b0]

I bet we all have our own sayings and names for different things in the world of bikes. Post your own or good ones you've heard!

SOME OF MINE:

The zipper effect: This I believe only happens in Spain cause people are incompetent drivers. In a roundabout cars go all over the place and usually you are between two cars that are kind of making a V. Their fronts are close and rears far apart. When they start closing it's much like a zipper and can get pretty scary if you're in the middle.

Roundabout syndrome: I just made it up for the fact that they are putting hundreds of roundabouts in spain to slow people down, but I think it is better suited for describing people who are trying to KD in roundabouts. (He's got roundabout syndrome)

Plegation: Kneedown. It's a mix of the spanish verb plegar (to fold, also used for saying lean on bikes) and tion making it like an English word. Eg. That was some nice plegation right there man!

This thread has the potential to go way off the gay scale.

"A varadero moment" to rant on for an unecessarily long time and in an unduly agressive manner about somethings unfitness for the purpose it appears to be designed for. Despite the fact that all people listening are agreeing with you.

Coined during my bike clubs trip to Shetland this summer.

I say 'fantastic', 'excellent' and 'super' a lot. Especially when someone is calling up with a shitty job for me to do at a horribly inconvenient time then embellishing it with extra details as to why it is going to be more difficult than normal.

So phone rings at 3am "Hello, it's Home Farm here. We've got a heiffer stuck calving and it's a really big one, I think it'll need a caesarian"

"Fantastic."

"Oh, and she's gone a bit wild and wont let anyone within ten feet of her."

"Excellent."

"And the electrics off, so bring a torch. And it's raining and the roof of the shed is off just now and I have a broken leg so there's noone there to help you."

"Super. See you in about 20 minutes then."
