Variant of "Shimano", top Japanese company which makes bicycle components (from groupsets to wheels to pedals to shoes). Akin to Microsoft in its pervasiveness and near-monopoly of the market (at least as far as groupsets (chainrings, cranks, bottom brackets, shifters, cassettes, etc)) and certain mediocrity, it is found on many bikes from the cheap low-end models to the nicer ones which actually aren't too bad (XT, XTR, Ultegra, Dura-Ace) but cost a grip. There are alternatives, at least for the groupsets - Campagnolo (go Campy) and SRAM (Sachs).
Look at that damn roadie's Bianchi - full Campagnolo gruppo! <drool> (looks down at lowly Shitmano Sora groupset).

I had a boner for some Romanian girl Oana in college, but I found out she was a lesbian and I only ended up with a stumpf..

This Romanian girl I knew, Oana... man she had short short hair, big eyes, and a badass last name but... she was gay. That sucked.

Online game started by two English folks. Quite fun I must say, but it takes a lot of time to play and maintain your pets.
Pets generally somewhat resemble real animals, but with a few quirks.

The name the rest of the world over for the Volkswagen Jetta MkIV (99.5-2004 at least). Named after the strong European wind mentioned somewhere else here.
"That dude drives a bad-a$$ Bora!"
"He changed the badges on his Jetta to say "Bora". What a wannabe."
