Here's a few to get you started:
1.
tights/bibs/jerseys = fem-looking clothing =
poseur bike uniform
2.
crème = anti-chafing lubricant =
poseur nut butter (preferably applied by another BFer)
3.
cf = carbon fiber =
poseur plastic bike material (somewhat akin to penis length)
4.
double = never a triple =
poseur crankset
5.
Ksyriums/Boras/Ventoux/Aeolus/etc., = (take out a loan) =
poseur bike wheels
6.
Fi'z:k/San Marco/Selle/etc., = bloodflow-restricting, nut/taint-crushing a$$hatchets =
poseur bike seats
7.
flip it = what you
must do to an unflipped stem =
poseur motto
8.
Ultegra/DA = upper end Shimano gruppos = Japanese

10.

12.
Colnago/Seven/Sachs/Vanilla/Scott/DeRosa/Pinarello/IF/etc.,= not-so-mass-produced
poseur bikes
13.
BFer = poster on this forum =
poseur obsession
14.
Lance/Jan/Miguel/Greg/Bernard/Eddie/Fausto/etc., = must-know names in the history of cycling = the
poseur gods, objects of worship and the fodder for never-ending apocryphal stories
15.
Poseur = weight weenie, leg-shaving, huge-thighed, elitist snob who couldn't make the high school football, wrestling, soccer, baseball, basketball, tennis, golf, chess, knitting, scrap-booking, or home-ec. teams, and looks down on those who could, so has attempted to compensate by taking up a
manly sport like cycling...IOW most of the posters on BF.
This will be on Friday's test.
