Black Bummed Praying Mantis
A serious cyclist who wears black cycle shorts and a bizarre shaped helmet. The saddle posture is bum up and head down with hands clinging to the handlebars giving the look of a praying mantis.
I was carved up by one of those black bummed praying mantis types.Would have kicked his ass if he had one.

Evangelical Atheist
A person who has become extremely vocal about their atheism and is trying to convince others of their point of view. Often they are regarded as an embarrassment by fellow atheists.
Sometimes their behaviour is an indication of the insecurity they might feel in supporting their belief ,especially when confronted with reasonable arguments from the other side.
Some Evangelical Atheists seek relief and vindication by lobbying to pass laws that will make it difficult for religious people to voice their opinions in the public square, or teach their beliefs to their own children.Or even to assemble together with like minded people if the assembly is on government property.(as in New York)
For others, their proselyting rage may be an indication that their beliefs are foundering and they are on their way to a radical paradigm shift ( ie Anthony Flew )
