Innovations that weren't...

[Scott-S]

You all seem to have missed common sense...
t'was once considered to be the finest innovation since Hovis got sliced, but now it seems to have fallen out of vogue along with a sense of humour

Again I blame the millenials

I like to embarrass myself by pronouncing the g in gnar when I converse with my young colleagues in the bike industry. They can't tell if I'm joking.

Ooohh I just came back from the MTBR with another language innovation to share, "whip" is the new "rig". I'll quote them directly
"I’m in the process of dialing in a new XC (-ish) whip."

Whip works best if you pronounce it like Stuey from Family Guy.
They can't work out if you're taking the piss or just an imbecile*.

*50/50 to be fair.

Do you pronounce it like gif, or like gif?

shred - as in 'she shredded it' - shred = noteworthy and quite good riding

I thought the "shred" was where I kept my bikes after 8 pints and a cider chaser.
