    Squares?

    Ok this is going to sound stupid But i really like it. I have no idea who started this term but once i read it, it has stuck to me. And I know of automotive guys who call some body styles squares. But I read somewhere some one refered to quads are squares. I thought about it for a minute and started to laugh.quads vs triangles. I use to think the golf cart term was funny. But squares for me for now on.

    I knew some guys from Mattapan MA that called cigarettes "squares". I never found out why.
    Squares for quads is pretty funny, I like calling them golf carts too.

    We always called someone who didn't smoke or drink etc... squares , I've heard the term square for a cigarette used many times (I always thought it was cause the pack was square ) don't really know why though but a quad being a square kinda works

    My kid always says "Pants are for squares man" when I tell her to get dressed to go out. Then she tells me to "chillax" when I get pissed over her tardiness.

    It's more like "Chillax Dude". Still young enough to have some fun with. Every time we compete at something the winner taunts the other by telling they have "Suckasightis", "chronic Suckasightis" or "terminal Suckasightis" depending on the degree of defeat and how bad the looser sucked.

    I guess I'll be paying for therapy soon.

    Yeah Philly being the city of brotherly love is one of the most ironic things! Those peeps are the arm pits of the world. Kinda a funny story thought haha especially the radiator part!

    Back in the day we used to refer to the quads as "Prams", which is an Aussie term for baby carriage.

    As you may have guessed, There was little love lost between the trike and quad riders in some circles back then
