Psycholist

The periodic latest updated definition from the OED:




Noun - Psycholist
Pronunciation Key : psy·cho·list.
Origin: based on the outbursts of a rabid Psycholist called Guy
Chapman

A cyclist who is one of a small group who frequent the news group
uk.rec.cycling they have invented their own "language" to justify
their views:

Examples:
1) "cycle helmet" - they would rather pretend that such devices
do not exist; they will try and overcome their problem by using the
alternative "h*l*et" - or just "h" for short; "lids", and other
alternatives may also be used.
2) "all pedestrians should be required to wear helmets" is a
common attempt to ridicule suggestions that cyclists should wear
helmets.
3) They cannot bring themselves to use the word: "facility" in
the context of a "cycling facility". Whatever the facility - they
must try and ridicule it as they will not be able to fully comprehend
the benefits as seen for all road users. This is achieved by using
the alternative "farcility".
4) "Cager" is used provocatively instead of the word "motorist",
in the hope that it irritates motorists; it doesn't - it makes them
laugh at the psycholist's inadequacies.
5) "Magic paint" - only used by the most inflicted psycholists.
Used to describe signage to cyclist on pavements. Origin unknown.
6) The word "troll" is in common usage in Usenet. However, the
psycholists have adopted it for their own use to apply to anyone who
disagrees with their ingrained and irrational views. This enables
them to say "ignore him - he is a troll" when faced with facts which
are too unpalatable for the psycholist to contemplate - never mind
discuss in a sensible fashion.
7) BSO : a bicycle shaped object. If someone's bicycle is not
top of the range, costing at least £500 with disc brakes, and at least
73 LEDs at the front and 67 when viewed from the rear, then it cannot
be called a bicycle. Anything bought from Halfrauds (sic) must be a
BSO.
8) "Peloton" - a rabble of psycholists who think they are above
the law.
9) Whenever they hear of a cyclist being killed in an accident -
they are obliged to say things like "My thoughts are with his/her
family" when they have had no dealings with them whatsoever. This is
commonly called a wankcry.
10) It is considered bad luck to mention having a punctu hence
the use of the words "having had a visit from the P*nct*re Fairy".
(Yes - this are grown up people we are talking about!)

Not everyone who frequents the group URC is a "psycholist".
Psycholists are not very bright in general and are obliged to
demonstrate that they lack common sense; they are very good at this.

A common pseudonym for a "psycholist" is "****wit".

Hagfish are marine craniates of the class Agnatha or Myxini, also known

subphylum Vertebrata. That is, they are the only living animals that
have a skull but not a vertebral column.

Despite their name, there is some debate about whether they are strictly
fish (as there is for lampreys), since they belong to a much more
primitive lineage than any other group that is placed in the category of
fish (Chondrichthyes and Osteichthyes). The earliest fossil record dates
back approximately 330 million years to the Late Carboniferous period.[2]

Expect posting to URCM to become a *lot* tougher for you, lad....

Why should I care about that? The URCM newsgroup is mainly for
psycholists and rejects most of my postings anyway. I can no longer be
bothered to waste my time by writing and submitting them!

....if you're a ****wit psycholist who thinks it's quite acceptable to
run a newsgroup as a private club and constantly lie about it (as long
as the "enforced" opinions are the same as yours, of course).

Imagine if uk.rec.cycling.moderated was run in the same way, but by
those who had the opposite opinions. Suddenly you and your ilk would be
very concerned by the "private club" aspect. Of course, reasonable
people don't want a newsgroup run as a private club *whatever* opinions
are "enforced", and it says so, so much about the psycholists that not a
single one has said "While I agree with the enforced opinions, I don't
think moderating by opinion is the right approach", or even admitted
that such an approach is being taken.

Did you make that "Profile of a Murderer" post BTW? Don't be shy about
taking credit: it's honestly one of the funniest things I've ever read
from a psycholist (where they've intended to be funny at any rate).

I would rather post here to URC where my messages are not censored
(sorry moderated) for no valid reasons! Other than the fact that my
opinions differ from the moderators, that is!

Feel free. But are you aware that you're also posting to cam.transport
where many readers are bewildered at being hit on the head by random
toys flying out of the pram?
