I'll start with what MB stands for

Anchor n. your child, or children (anchors) that keep you from riding.

Auger v. to involuntarily take drill samples of the local geology (usually with your face) during a crash.

Bacon n. any scabs on a rider's knees, elbows, or other body parts. Some wear them like badges of honor, those people usually will be found near the bottom of the food chain.

Brain bucket n. helmet.

Clotheslined v. the act of catching an upper body part (e.g. the neck) on a low branch or vine resulting in separation of the rider from the bike.

Drillium n. Any part with lots of holes drilled in it to make it lighter.

Hammer Head n. a rider who doesn’t know the meaning of "enjoyable pace". They usually ride hard and fast all the time.

Nosepickium n. The crusties you pick from your nose after a ride in a dusty environment. Or simply known as "Dirt Bugers"

Pruning v. To use one's bike or helmet to remove leaves and branches from the surrounding flora. Usually unintentional.

Superman n. A rider who flies over the handlebars and doesn't hit the ground for a long time. This may result in injury, but when it doesn't, it's really funny for everyone else.

Tea party n. When a whole group of riders stops and chats, and nobody seems to want to ride on.

Vultures n. Spectators who line up at dangerous obstacles in hopes of seeing crashes and blood. Easy to spot, they usually have camera, or video recorder handy.

Wild pigs n. Poorly adjusted brake pads that squeal in use.

Yard sale n. A horrendous crash that leaves all your various "wares" -- water bottles, pump, tool bag, etc. -- scattered as if on display for sale.
 
Thingy - part of the Male anatomy. Contrary to what NOOBs think, it has no place in the MB world, unless you are riding your MB and meet someone hot then it is all relevant to MBs.

Whopper Stopper - Product by Grubee, Inc. and sold by BlowbyU. Also what happens when your date isn't the sex that you think they are. Viagra won't help.

Axle in the Bottom Bracket - Uh, I leave it to your imagination, but most of the time it is called the crank.
