Shop Rat

Slang for an experienced bike mechanic.

It takes several years to become a shop rat. Only after spending thousands of hours building bikes, building wheels, rebuilding suspension forks and shocks, setting up derailleurs, replacing bottom brackets, rebuilding hubs, matching chainrings/cranksets/cassettes, and bleeding every type of hydraulic brake system does one become a shop rat.

A shop rat is the guy/gal you want to talk to about your bike's issues. They've seen every possible problem a million times over and know how to fix it professionally and quickly. They also know secret repair tricks that you'll never find in a service manual or on YouTube.

The opposite of a Tool Box Ted.

I spent 10 years as a shop rat in a Colorado bike shop.

The main Pinkbike guys all used to be shop rats for something like 10+ years before their current jobs.

bucket shop

A bucket shop is a company that sells a coat of arms usually with the inaccurate name of "family crest" associated with the customer's surname nonetheless if the customer in question can claim a link to the original armiger. You can often tell if a coat of arms is from a bucket shop by looking if it has the customer's surname in the motto scroll instead of a real motto.

Tim Johnson unknowingly bought a bucket shop coat of arms associated with his surname Johnson off a family crest website.

Shart Shopping

DEFINITION: A sale so good, you shart your pants.

Also used as: "Now, that's one Shart Shopper!"

Sally was so surprised at how good the prices were at this sale, that she accidentally let some poop out when she thought it would just be gas - Now, that's Shart Shopping!

OR....

Wow, Sally pooped her pants AND saved 30% on that sweater? Wow, she is one Shart Shopper!
