I've heard the term hanger used for bottom bracket and seatpin used instead of seatpost. People often ask for new rims when they actually want a new wheel. I like term hoop for a rim. The newest one I've heard is someone calling a cassette a "stack" and it does kind of grate but I guess saying I have a 10-stack out back is understandable in the right context, but stack refers to something else in most bicycle contexts hence I don't encourage its use.
I too want to be optimistic about this region and cycling, there's a lot of people doing the commuting thing it seems. When I'm driving I also notice a lot of cars that park in traffic lanes and in front of no-parking signs... trucks often block traffic lanes and people are jerks to each other for no real reason. I think this region is full of terrible drivers that are just rude to anyone on the road. Just the other day I saw a big-rig wave a car through, then he looked at me and waved me through the intersection of Bridge and Woolwich during rush hour when it's pretty tough to cross, so it's not all shitheads out there behind the wheel.
