You ever find yourself riding by the big slab when a bucket of bolts knocking the stack out like a ***** ape dusts your britches and you wish there's a brown bag around there somewhere cause you were just enjoying your magic mile?

What's your example and what does it mean???
What's your example and what does it mean???
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 poseur
9. Chorus/Record = upper end Campy gruppos = Italian poseur
10. Force = upper end SRAM gruppo = American (?) poseur
11. S-Works/Giant/Trek/Fuji/etc. = mass-produced poseur bikes
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.

Actually, there are two definitions
A.) "goofy looking cyclists, tend to be the laughing stock of elites.".... but has a motor to back up his torn sweatpants and 28 pound 1982 steel bike.
B.) Someone with a $7,000 latest and greatest carbon bike, Assos everything, all the latest lightweight technology but can not hold his line in a paceline, and generally has no physical fitness. ( A poser with a big wallet)
