A panda portrait is a photograph you take of yourself while on a bicycle. A bicyclist holds their camera out with one arm, and takes a picture of their own face, while on their bicycle, possibly while wearing a bicycle helmet.
I think this term can also be used for videos of one's self while riding a bicycle, in motion.
It may come from the idea that pavement is black, and the bike lane stripe is white. Panda's are black and white striped, just like bike lanes. Maybe the bicyclist stencil used to paint and mark bike lanes looks somewhat like a panda.

A way to downplay the buzzkill of "waiver" when a group activity is fun, cool, and only slightly dangerous. To be used when: "Please sign the waiver" sounds too uptight.
"Waiver" to "Waivage" has the same semantics as "doobie" going to "doobage", and "acre" going to "acreage".
"Waiver" to "Waivage" has the same semantics as "doobie" going to "doobage", and "acre" going to "acreage".
Group Bike Ride Organizer: "Hey gang, sign the waivage before we take off"
Group Bike Ride Participant: "That's cool. I already signed it. I'm ready to haul!"

Gay man: "When I moved from Texas to San Francisco, so many gay men hit on me and winked at me in the street. It was great for my gayego"
Lesbian: "I like playing softball. The other girls check me out in my hot baseball pants, it's great for my gayego"

Nurse: "Sir, would you like the chicken, or the steak?"
Patient: "I'll have the chicken. I'm on a diet"
Nurse: "would you like french fries or carrots?"
Patient: "I'll have the carrots. I'm trying to loose some weight."
Nurse: "would you like a piece of the banana cream pie?"
Patient: "Oh, you silver tongued savage!"

A group of people who ride bicycles together while obeying traffic laws, and showing common polite behavior for roadway travel. Similar to "critical mass", only with a positive attitude, pleasant phrases, and very little spitting. Examples include the Bike Party in San Jose, CA, and the Maroon Bike Project Courteous Mass in College Station, TX, and many other polite group bicycle rides in other cities.
Bicyclist: "Hello there! We'll be coming down the road on your right side. Thank you for noticing us. Happy Friday! It's Courteous Mass!"
Motorist: "Hello! Happy Friday to you too! What a nice group of people riding bicycles together. Such a lovely activity! I'll gladly share the public road with them anytime!"

The time of day when the sun is setting, when adults think it's too dark for kids to keep playing outside. The kids, however, insist there is still enough light out to keep playing for a while longer because it's not all the way dark yet. The adults think it's too dark out because they've been sitting in the house with lights on.
Mom yelling outside: "Kids, come inside. It's dark out there! Come in and wash, supper's almost ready!"
Kids: "Aw mom! It's not too dark out, we can still see the ball! It's only adult dark. 10 more minutes!"
Kids: "Aw mom! It's not too dark out, we can still see the ball! It's only adult dark. 10 more minutes!"

When a wide, high-speed road is redesigned to be more narrow, have slower traffic, and more space designated for bicycles, pedestrians, and plant material.
Did you hear? The city council approved the road diet for University Drive. They're going to take it down from 7 lanes to 4, reduce the speed limit, put a median down the center with trees, widen the sidewalks, and stripe bike lanes on both sides. It'll be so much better. I can't wait to see it finished!
