SQUID
A "Squid" is a type of biker - we can all remember seeing at least one: They are the fringe of the sportbike crowd - the hotdogs, the show-offs. The origin of the term "Squid" is unknown, but some theorize that it describes the multi-colored suits they wear on their multicolored bikes. Others maintain that "Squid" is a contraction of the phrase "squished kid". Or maybe its how they squirt through traffic the same way a sea-going squid jerks and darts around coral reefs. Note the word "jerk."
