#4 - Adrian // Being an annoying, if harmless, twatwaffle. An Adrian also exhibits poor spelling and grammar while attempting to make points. https://www.urbandictionary.com/defi...waffle&page=26
#10 - Sur La Plaque // French for “Put that thing in the big ring, ****tard.” (Literally, to move sur la plaque means to move onto the plate, or the BIG RING.)
#19 - The Anti-V // The forces in life that cause you to not observe The V.The Anti-V manifests itself in an absence of those things we love most about cycling: a combination of guts, class, and panache. Wheel-sucking, bragging, and poor sportsmanship are examples of the Anti-V. (Thanks to KitCarson.)
#61 - Gun Decks // The platforms that absorb the massive force of our guns.Every Velominatus knows their guns aren’t their arms (carry those gallons of milk in one at a time, we don’t want to build up too much upper body mass, Hercules) but their legs. And we all know the way to make our bikes go faster is to push harder on the Gun Decks, also known as pedals. Thanks to @Conor via email.

I like:
‘Sit up and beg’
‘The yellow (now yellow green) jacket of authority’. And their perceived aura of invincibility.
‘Festum Prophetae’. Eddy M.
So many classics. .

In SE Florida, the weather prediction can be 5% chance of rain and we get a huge dumping of rain right in the middle of the ride. Whenever that happens, I yell out, "Rule # 9!!!"

Yelling that out truly makes you a Badass. Keep up the good work.

Flame suit on...I think the Velominati rules need some modernization. For example, rule 48 dictates that saddles must be level and pushed back. All the cool kids nowadays know that your saddle needs to be slammed forward and be near a 4° downward tilt, as in the style of the great Pogi.

Pogi is wrong.
