Cannondale used to (maybe still) make one called The Bugger. Oddly, they never officially imported it into the UK!

Sorry folks. Didn't realise I'd cross posted this: when I first heard of the Cannondale product (it's no longer made) I busted my hole laughing, but when I explained it to my (Texan) colleague, he just said "so?".
It's hard to see how anyone can survive on a bicycle without this word with its many meanings in their vocab ("an uncooperative object or apparatus" - that's my rear mech, alright). I'm sure Sheldon "Polyglot" Brown is totally >au fait< with it, and probably has a chart on his website outlining the shades of meaning and areas of applicability.
