The chicks, dude, the chicks... There's always one to tie you down. Not that I mind the occasional tying up, but then the next thing you know, there's eggs, and hatching, and you gotta take care of the little ones. Dammit. Oh, and I also got a good deal on opening a ball shaving shack.

So looking at the vote we can assume that to use the term cockpit is stupid?

 

Unless of course you have a shallow hole with some male chickens in it...

Hahahahaha you really want closure on this dont you?

 

Funnily enough I've heard it so often now with this thread that i'm now not too bothered. & remember my dad being annoyed at the Beatles singing "yeah, yeah, yeah" instead of "yes, yes,yes" (sounds more orgasmic at least). so dont want to turn into that - too late i know.

 

Anyhow, it could be said that with 40% against and 60% pro or not bothered, its not considered stupid and is with us as long as the fashion lasts. Fortunately there's room for it as i notice the term "chillax" is no longer used by people with IQs in double figures.

 

So we'd better.....

 

chillax.

while looking at some online bicycle shops in Denmark I've come across this "term"... have a look

It obviusly includes components such as: bar-ends, stems, grips etc

 

It clearly says "cockpit".... must be a european thing? or just danish?
