It was a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure we called the sissy brake levers. Maybe it was a regional thing, or a time period thing, as I remember road bikes before the lever extensions were available. We also played a ball game called "Smear the Queer," where the whole object was to capture and hold the ball (i.e to be the queer, the only one with the ball) and evade getting gang-tackled by the group. Not playing Smear the Queer was definitely sissy.
