just read a thread going on about "tinging" and RJing etc. What do these mean and is there any other commuter slang I should know about?

"tinging" means to smoke cannabis whilst cycling. Or to ring one's bell.
"RLJ" has no meaning but is just a red flag to stimulate reasoned debate.YOR A IDIOT

RLJ = TLA = Three Letter Acronym.
Usual purpose, to make those with ambitions of middle management sound like they know what they're doing

RLJ = POBFriends all tried to warn me but I held my head up high...0

POB = Word used by wierdy beardies who cycle 100% perfect all the time and have to tell everyone else how to cycle.
:twisted:0 -
POB = person on bike, i.e. not a "proper" cyclist. OTOH I think anyone on a bike is a cyclist.0

I thought POB was mini-cab lingo for Passenger On Board when they've done a pickup.'Hello to Jason Isaacs'0

It can also stand for Pedestrian on Bike, meaning someone who rides on the pavement, ignores all traffic signals and rules governing the use of vehicles and in every way behaves like a pedestrian, only on a bicycle; or Pillock on Bike which is what RLJers are.This post contains traces of nuts.0

i meant on the forums.
if i cause an accident/hit someone etc ill be the first to admit its my fault. but if i do it safely and considerately im a 'pillock'? I got pulled over in liverpool street for it a few weeks a go.. i slowed for the people crossing, no more people were crossing, i slowly got my speed up, copper pulled me over and told me i went straight through them. i said i slowed first and let the crossing clear.. but he said in a more assertive voice you went straight through them.
no ticket.. just wasted 20 mins writing a short story in his note book. next time i wont bother stopping and see if he is any good at sprinting.
i run reds when the roads are clear of peds and traffic, yet im wreckless in your eyes.
Funny how i rarely get grief riding through london, yet a fair few of the anti rlj-primary assertive-take the lane so your safe are getting into considerably more arjy bargy than i do. maybe its this anal attitude that gets you into these situations.
The times i have had serious altercations have escalated from me stopping in front of cars at the reds and not doing 0-60 in 4.5 seconds as soon as they turn amber.

Most of those are intialisms, it's only an acronym if it's pronounced as a word (NASA, AIDS etc)

If you knew how to spell (w)reckless then yes you may be you may not.
A majority of rlj'ers donrt seem to have any regard for others.0 -
