schneid

Winless, scoreless or hitless, in dating or especially in sports. Used especially when a long loosing streak is broken. Comes from Gin Rummy when if you lose all the hands you have to pay double or get "schneidered."

The 0-8 Detroit Pistons won their first game. Finally they are off the schneid.

10 speed

road bicycle. back in the day there didn't used to be mountain bicycles, road bicycles, fixies, 'bents no sir. There was just a bicycle. If you watch "Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure" you'll see what is typical for a bicycle decades ago. Now there were some people who had a fancy bicycle that they raced with and we called it a "10 speed" bicycle because it had so many gears. These were road bicycles.

"Are you going to a race or just K-Mart on your fancy new 10 speed?"
