A precise-sounding figure which at first sight appears impressively close to total unanimity but on closer inspection is obviously meaningless because of selection bias. Extensively used by a snake oil salesman or confidence trickster to suggest that the prospective ill-informed customer would be ridiculed by their peers if they failed to make the purchase. Also used ironically to suggest precision when in fact both the speaker and the listener know that the figure is a stab in the dark, such as sales estimates.

A fake statistic referring to the number of women apparently sexually harassed in the United Kingdom. The actual study the media uses to base this statistic off of does not mention 97% once, and it also includes staring, asking out for a drink, and telling jokes as forms of sexual harassment.
If the 97% statistic of women sexually harrassed counts staring as sexual harassment how the hell is it not 100%?

When you get really angry at your bike and toss it like Bjarne Riis did in the Tour de France 1997.
On the final time trial stage everything went wrong and Bjarne had enough.
See the incident on youtube by searching for "Bjarne Riis 1997 bike toss"
This term can be used around friends that either know of Bjarne Riis or are into cycling, seeing as this is a very famous moment in the history of the race.
Brian: My bike stopped working on my way home, so I went really mad and did a Bjarne '97 on it!
Sean: No way, dude. Did you go B97 on it's ass?
Brian: Yeah. Set me back a few bobs at the repair shop, but it was worth it.
Rule 97 of the internet, the combination of the two rules 34 and 63
Rule 34 : If it exists, there is porn of it.
Rule 63 : If it exists, there is a genderswapped version of it.
Rule 97 (34 + 63) : If it exists there is a genderswapped porn of it, if not it is in the making.
Bro1 : Bro, I just found a genderswapped photo of Peach squishing Marios titties
Bro2 : Shit bro, rule 97 strikes again

A sexual position used between a male human and a female animal, usually at a large drop (cliff, porthole, etc); considered to be extremely pleasurable for the human, as the animal usually pushes back harder that way.
Unfortunately, position 97 often results in the animal eventually being pushed over, and then dying because the IV bag was full of oats. That's what you get for having sex with a four-year-old donkey
