There are a lot of weird words and unique pronunciation in the cycling world. brands, parts, tools, bike names, techniques, all kinds of stuff. it's easy to get it wrong, and there's a lot of them.
some examples:
do you say "derailer" or "derailyer"? I say derailer.
"panyer" or "paneer"?
"Chamois" is shammy.
cyclocross or cycle-cross? I say cyclocross, or just cross.
using proper terms like Fork NOT forks! your bike only has one. probably.
Brands: Campagnolo, Ibis, Origin8 (is it originate or origin-8?), Bontrager, Giro, Motobecane, Truvativ, the list seems endless.
ever wonder "how do i say that?" ask here.
what else? post up confusing terms and how to say them properly.

The definition is a fork consists of two blades (stanchions these days on most) which are joined at the top by a fork crown. Then wiki goes on to say that some still refer to the rear triangle as a fork, from a holdover from the penny farthing days.
