As soon as November officially comes (weatherwise) ans I get a few minutes a week, I'd like to have a round-up of phrases and names

Sheldon, i and Schubert are pretty good at this and hopefully was can up with some stumpers. The slang/common names/proper names/snobby names can be used i.e.: gooseneck/stem/extension

like with cars, the Brits and canadians often have their names hood=bonnett rubber band= elastic elevator=lift

of course we'll limit it to bicycles

On coffe and other sizing..... Our shops stopped carrying small waterbottles years ago we now have large and super-capacity, even though they are the same bottles we've had for years
