Back when Mick Butler was a regular contributor, he was kind enough to be my translator on many occasions on the terms Brits used. My all time favorite was Fag Paper Clearance.meaning when getting a custom bike many racers wanted little wasted space and the tires and such were to be very close to the frame of the bike.so close a cigarette paper would barely pass through the spaces between. Now I probably have really made a mish mash of that explanation, but I'll treasure the term always!
Hey Mick, if you are lurking, c'mon back aboard, you are missed!
