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!

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"

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.
Check out my new photos from last week's ride. I took some great panda portraits!

The upper portion of the inside of the mouth. More commonly and incorrectly referred to as the "roof" of the mouth. This doesn't make sense because it's inside, like a ceiling, not outside, like a roof. The scalp and hair are the roof of your head, and your mouth has a ceiling.
Jim: "Hey Dan, want some tortilla chips or some Captain Crunch?"

Dan: "No thanks. Last night, I made a pizza in the oven, and like an idiot, I bit into a piece right away. The hot cheese burned the ceiling of my mouth. It hurts. I need to eat apple sauce for a few days".
