etc.
et cetera, a Latin expression meaning "and other things" or "and so on"

so etc etc means "and so on and so on", IIRC.

also recently we had DTFU... dog the f*ck up - advice for someones dog. Apparently it needed shoes to go outside...

jeyboy - from what I can gather its a "safer" version of gay boy. To be honest I would stay away from that one. Gay shouldn't really be used as insult these days.

IMHO whathaveisaidnow is the funniest response so far, but of course YMMV.
Also

DH- bike and rider too fat to ride uphill. Wears baggy kit to hide it.
Phat- how DH riders spell fat. See above.
S/S- geek looking for a niche within a niche in order to stand out.
29er- see above.
650b- see above.
Ti-overpriced, no longer trendy.
CF-overpriced, trendy. Breaks every ride, often fatal.
Superstar- really good affordable kit, often same as named brand stuff.
Superstar- cheap cr@p, breaks as soon as you look at it, never works.

Commençal - Com-on-sal (well sort of) - the second 'C' has a cedilla on it making it sound like an 'S'

'Die-uh-nay-say'

That's how I've heard it - both in UK bike shops and Italian mountain sport shops...
