No mate you ride a mountain bike or mtb in its abbreviated form ..its what they have always been calledI love the terms you guys across the ocean come up with. I am a senior , who rides a Specialized acoustic. I can’t wait to tell my riding buddy what he is riding !
I'd refer to one of those Walmart things as a BSO. ?You haven't got an acoustic bike mate, its the same shitty Walmart hardtail it always has been.
Electric can be analogue as well. As is the case with an eMTB. The pedal assist, the defining feature of an eBike is analogue, not digital.I prefer Analog vs Digital, Its the electronic technician in me... but my friend Brad coined Acoustic vs Electric years ago...
I agree totally. Sounds like some plonkers are trying hard to complicate matters by introducing more PC crap.mtb ..emtb ..simples innit
Your axe needs an oiling mate. It's grinding like mad.I agree totally. Sounds like some plonkers are trying hard to complicate matters by introducing more PC crap.
Maybe they haven't heard of K.I.S.S. " Keep it simple stupid".
So, The Hodge, this 74 year old bloke, is going to refer to them as simply mtb or emtb. Maybe that sounds too much like commonsense!
No one? This is a rather serious question where the majoriy of the Swedish cycling community need to know if this is a common expression and if it is meant to offend people. We are not that familiar with this expression and the discussion just caught fire again. ?Didn't want to start a completely new thread for a stupid question. There is an infected debate going on in a Swedish cycling forum right now. Someone called a few people "circle jerks". Being Swedes, they got extremely offended and upset with this sort of name calling.
Question: Is the expression "circle jerks" condescending? And does it generally refer to people in a group that agree with each other?
In my circle of friends a “circle jerk” is a circular question that circulates around our circle.No one?

Thank you, but you seem as clueless as us. ?In my circle of friends a “circle jerk” is a circular question that circulates around our circle.
It’s a well rounded question. ?

Thank you! I knew about that biscuit thing, but I wonder if this is a common expression in the English language? And if you say it meaningUrban Dictionary definitions (open the link and read down at your own risk, but you probably should know ?)...
Urban Dictionary: circle jerk
The act of constantly sharing the same opinion in a forum full of people who are obviously known to have the same opinion as yours, therefor granting you free upvotes to said opinion, while gathering downvotes to anyone that opposes you on the matterwww.urbandictionary.com
having re read my post...........can I point out that "US origin" in my first sentence, relates to the term, not the moron!! I would not want to inadvertently offend our US members!It is not an expression I have heard in the UK although a "jerk" (on its own), as a noun, is a derogatory term to describe an idiot or moron and that has US origin. As a verb in Oxford English , it describes a sudden sharp body movement ( you can no doubt guess how that might be used by some!!)
Circle Jerk therefore probably has US origin and as far as I know it has not "infected" the UK!! Given the US use of the word in other contexts I would say it is derogatory (with sexual undertones!)
