RE: PistonHeads 'Definition' T-shirts now available

[Retset]

I've never bought a PH T-shirt before but these are really good. The Man Maths one is epic.

Using Man Maths I have just finished justifying why I am ordering one

Two things:

1) Shouldn't 'bork' be 'baulk', as in the actual word?
2) Surely a definition of 'Leptons' is missing??

Lepton is a very good call. Fancy having a go at the rest of it?

Bork is a peculiarly PH word. It means fked, rather than "refrain from buying because of the potential costs" like baulk. Can be found all over the M Powered barge thread.

I can see myself buying several of these Love them!

[Colvette]

Something like:

Lepton (pronunciation!) noun: A measure of speed only understood by a PHer. Considered out of the range of understanding and ability of most road users, numerous Leptons are generally experienced during a period of hoon. See also: Speed, Displacement, Forced Induction.

Might serve as a starting point?

Like that. We were talking in the office about it also being deliberately vague to avoid online incrimination as well?

So:

Lepton (pronunciation!) noun: A deliberately vaguely defined measure of speed only understood by a PHer. Considered out of the range of understanding of most road users, & specifically of Safety Camera operators. See also: Hooning, Making progress, Notice of intention to prosecute,

I like it a lot, but I'd be careful as there's a lot of 'speeding' specific stuff in that one... :-P

Yes, good point.

[Retset]

Agreed, Colvette's one is much nearer what we want for a Lepton Tee. In fact, it's almost perfect.

I have ordered 'Man Maths' and am eagerly awaiting 'Leptons'

Isn't the text defining the noun PHer actually the definition for if it were a verb?!

Yup, there seems to be a distinct lack of understanding what the various parts of speech do.

No rigour, no good.

[Pints]

Great new selection. Lepton would be a nice addition if we can agree a definition.

I smell a new thread in the making.

I'm glad the Bork definition doesn't say: See LHD.

The temptation was strong.

You can count me in for a 'Leptons' too.

We pondered over this for a while, and you raise a valid point.

If it's deemed as incorrect we can change it (print on demand means no stock pile). What's the general concencous?
