Got to thinking about some of the old bike lingo. This is one I remember from when I was a kid back in the '30's. It was used through the fifties, and slowly died out with the new age riders.

Yo-yo-yo-yo-yo.

You can add or subtract yos if you like, means the same. What does it mean and how did it originate? I have a nice prize for the winner, I'll even send it postage prepaid! First correct answer wins. To be fair, I'll adjust for our time zones in the lower 48 Contest ends 6:00 P.M. Western Daylight Savings Time, Saturday, March 17th, 2007. Happy St. Patrick's Day and good luck on your timely entries!
