What's your favourite word/phrase STW has taught you…?

Someone else coined “TWATOS” = There Was A Thread On Singletrackworld it was a regular conversation starter between me and my ex.

And this I have just read

kill the unhappy rat

from STW linky link

Giggling at Rhythm pamphlet..

Still like Unobtainium as the next frame material of niche whore choice.

“is she fit?”

“As useless as Anne Frank’s drumkit” made me chortle yesterday, despite/because of the sheer wrongness.

😆 that’s brilliant(ly wrong).

Big fan of gnarpoon.

“roll it tightly and grease it lightly”

I think it was in a ‘sold my car and now it’s broken’ thread. I try to use the expression daily!

I don’t use the acronym, but “there was a thread…” comes out of my mouth enough for my wife to make snoring sounds when I say it!

Byway Bongo is my favourite variation on the hedgeporn theme.

Surprised we’ve not had “owned with bombers” yet, or anything shoe/wee orientated.

Strange how a cycling forum has made me realise some people actually enjoy driving!

Strange how many people don’t realise that driving and riding bikes are enjoyable for many of the same reasons!
(but that’s getting off topic)

Bongo Bongo land

(I thought it was William Moriis wallpaper)

Doh, I mean MORRIS.

Definitely a plastic gayer in that case.

2 pages and almost no mentioned of “Wee in their shoes”… damn you JonE

Jaycore-lite doesn’t get used hardly enough nowadays

Hmmm “gnarpoon” seem to have past me by.. where/why did that originate?

Colorway. I hate everyone on this forum.

Hmmm “gnarpoon” seem to have past me by.. where/why did that originate?

From the Urban Dictionary

Gnarpoon
to do something most excellent
ie: to shoot a task with a Gnarpoon
“Did you see that wallride to 360 out he just threw?” “Yeah, he’s been shooting up this place with his GNARPOON all day long…”

I seem to have got credit for gnarpoon, but I totally stole it. Not sure from where, possibly Mark Downie. Now if gnarwhal catches on- ie, what you hunt with your gnarpoon- that is 100% mine. Lots of good gnar words- I was worried when I took my Hemlock to Antur Stiniog that I might get arrested at the border for smuggling gnar cotics.

Til recently, I didn’t realise just how dripping with sarcasm “artisan” can be. Not often I miss an opportunity for sarcasm.

Rhythm Pamphlet reminds me of this episode of Bottom;

Richie: You may hate me, Eddie..

Eddie: Yes, I do.

Richie: ..but you can’t live without me, can you? I mean, off you go, gallivanting around the countryside, squandering all our money on rhythm magazines, and then you come swanning in here and expect to have your dinner on the table. And I don’t know why I do it, but I’ve managed to throw together a slap-up dinner for two for no money at all. All the ingredients in tonight’s main meal have either been grown, found or foraged.

Eddie: Oh dear.

Richie: So hey! Hey. Hey. Eddie… I forgive you. Come and have your din-dins.

My favourite phrase has got to be ‘roughing up the suspect’ from the unbelievable things that happened at work thread.

Strange how many people don’t realise that driving and riding bikes are enjoyable for many of the same reasons!

You’re winding me up on purpose! Troll!

(but that’s getting off topic)

Yes it is, so don’t bloody wind me up.

My favourite phrase has got to be ‘roughing up the suspect’

This, or the genius description of ST mag’s contents as “whimsical mincing”.

Anyone care to claim that gem?

Penis beaker

“Bang her back doors in”

Flash grenades as you swing into the back of her (or him?)…shock n awe ..

I bet somewhere there is a Pornstar called that.

“Is she fit”..I bumped into a female rider last week who I’d class as fit.

Ring fence the Unicorn picolax

‘Own with bombers’.

Mincecore lite

Weapons grade f***knuckle

I first heard Gnarpoon from Mr Downie, too.

There was once a picture posted of a tea bag still in the brew when milk had gone in. Someone commented “who’s putting milk in while the bag’s still in? Barbarian”. I still like using that in context.

“Poo raft”

Mincecore lite

Freemincing

“clean getaways” as per _Tom_ in the thread below
clean getaways
Don’t get a chance to use it as much as I’d like 🙁 😳

Toe custard, after a particularly delightful thread on ingrown toenails.

Baby Robin

Twunt

Efck 2 pages before ‘own with bombers’ and 3 before a Baby Robin appears…
So I must add Wee in shoes

‘Some people just want to watch the world burn’

Following a post detailing someones devil may care attitude to loading a dishwasher.

What was the origin of Baby Robin btw?

I ask out of interest ‘cos I have a baby called Robin.

🙂

Knob jockey

Knob jockey predates the internet, let alone STW. Young ‘uns, eh!

anyway…
‘twunt’
‘content’
and
‘will I die’
