why squid

[roso]

hey all was just wonder why is squid the term used for retard on a motobike

[LiononaLeash]

SQUI-relly kiD is the one I hear the most.


another is that when you see a bunch of those at a stoplight... when the light turns green... they all squirt forward like squid do... and not necessarily in the same direction. So it is an appearance association there.

[benVFR]

Also Squid = "Squished Kid"

[bump909]

cuz that's what they look like on the ground after they eat it doing something dumb.. all disemboweled, no skin left, oozing bodily fluids all slimey, and what not.

slang, generally considered derogatory} is an irresponsible motorcyclist; generally associated with a new or reckless motorcyclist seen riding erratically and/or beyond his or her capabilities often without appropriate riding gear.

The origin of the word is varyingly attributed as a contraction of squirreley and kid, or an acronym for "Stupidly Quick, Underdressed, Ignorant and Dangerous" or "Stupidly Quick, Underdressed and Imminently Dead" It is also attributed to a beginning motorcyclist using direct similarities to the aquatic sea creature by the same name. Observing a squid underwater, it seems that the creature is unable to change direction while swimming without first coming to a near complete stop. Once the squid does stop and change directions, it can very quickly accelerate back to its regular swimming speed. Beginning motorcyclists (especially sports bike riders) commonly have trouble turning the motorcycle with any substantial amount of speed (causing them to slow down to unnecessarily slow speed to take a turn), while at the same time have a tendency to ride very fast on the straight sections of the road.

Often young, this motorcyclist is identified by their behaviour; (Reckless abandon, speeding, wheelies, stoppies etc.) and by their inappropriate attire; (Shorts, ball cap, flip flops etc). Such a rider eschews all or most of the protective gear worn by many riders (helmet, gloves, leather jacket, riding pants, and boots) and the social and legal norms of riding behaviour.

Often looked upon with derision by experienced motorcyclists.

Also referred to as "organ donors" and "soon-to-be-ex-motorcyclists" in tongue-in-cheek comments by other motorcyclists, comments that may have some basis in truth.
