:laughing What do you call it when the under arm flab ripples in waves of seismic proportions as a waddle can also be a move in any similar, slow, rocking manner?

I would call that "flapping," or maybe "wobbling."

Wordgeekage ON:

The primary definition is WADDLE: to walk with short steps swinging the forepart of the body from side to side. Secondary definitions are based upon the first one.

The trick with this word is that it applies to the motion of an entire body or object. A body can waddle, and one could say that a ship "waddled" into port, but a sail on a boat doesn't "waddle," nor does an arm.

Wordgeekage OFF.

Sometimes I want to throw bottles of water at car drivers.

I saw a Canadian movie a few years ago about bicycle messengers. They'd fill their H2O bottles with urine to spray at errant drivers.
 
at least they didn't throw a coke at you.

"2 Seconds" I think it's only on VHS but a great movie all-around.
A Bicyclist Cult classic.:thumbup
 
I think Camus rides a cafe racer.

:laughing Sorry, but it is commonly being used to describe not only the arm flab (a variation/misuse of wattle), but the continued movement of said arm flab once the actual waving action has ceased. Countless Google hits will back me up on this one.

"Irregardless" :teeth, I stand by the colloquial use of it in a forum posting.

Loved that book, a real life changer when i read it the first time, 1985, while on my toaster tank R75/5. Only transportation i had for 5 years and it took me up and downt the west coast on two very educational trips. Ah to be young again.....thanks for the ref.
 
no worries. i wish i had the time for such journeys, but i'm stuck commuting on 280... The journey's in the mind, right?
Neil Peart of Rush also has a few books about his moto travels. I highly recommend both of them.
 
:wtf

While I ate my McGriddle this morning I thought of this thread and the arm wattle.

MikkyD's is forever ruined, thanks :twofinger

I accept MikkyD's with all of it's gross short comings. Sometimes you can't ignore the MacAttack...
 
What if you were incarcerated forever in the back seat of The White Ford Focus with Mr. and Mrs. Clean ala No Exit fashion?
Forced to listen to their conversations? To hear them arguing minute points endlessly, with them singing along to the chorus of
The Doris Day Hits CD that's stuck inside the CD player? If this were the special place in eternity for mirror-smashing riders?

"Que Sera, Sera
[Him: No, dearest, it was your Mother who showed up first.]
Whatever will be, will be
[Her: It couldn't have been since she brought the chicken salad.]
The future's not ours to see
[Him:I had just looked at the Grandfather clock in the hallway. . . ]
Que Sera, Sera
[Her: That clock is slow Mr. Know-it-all.]
What will be, will be"

[Both, Looking at you in the rear-view mirror: "Why, You're not singing!"]

Sorry, but Google is not a reliable grammatical resource, no matter how many people (mis)use a word a certain way.

Ah the joys of the commute. Where did this happen by the way? I find that 880 drivers (for the most part) up past Newark are pretty bold and rude. On the other hand, on my commute down 680 I find most drivers are polite enough to move aside when they hear my coming.

Their story to their friends will probably be that you were a 300 lb. 10 foot tall biker with spikes all over ..oh that you were swinging a chain at them.

Trophy mirror. That would be very funny. Wrong, but funny. Some people just bring it upon themselves.
