1) Ink-producing marine mollusks of the order Teuthida that typically glide through water via locomotion of their eight tentacles. Sometimes prepared for human consumption (especially in Japanese cuisine), where it is referred to as "calamari."
2) An inexperienced, inept, or otherwise foolish motorcyclist. Possibly a blend of "stupid" and "quick," as well as the bacronym "stupid, quick, under-dressed and imminently dead." This was extended more generally to inexperienced riders of any vehicle by the 1999 kids' cartoon Rocket Powered, the debut episode of which titled "New Squid on the Block," where the lowest ranking skateboarder was termed "squid" by the other characters.
3) A nerd. First used in this context in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, a 1999 epistolary coming of age novel on page 183, where it is used to describe people who sit at the back of the school bus: "When I do ride the bus, I usually sit towards the middle because I've heard sitting in the front is for nerds and sitting in the back is for squids, and the whole thing makes me nervous. I don't know what they call 'squids' in other schools." The term has since picked up minor cachet in the New England area as being synonymous with nerds, weirdos, etc.

Get the Bumping Squid Facesmug. Biologists still do not fully understand the mechanics of squid aeronautics, but based on accumulating anecdotal and photographic evidence, they have no doubt that the phenomenon is real and widespread. "Flying is not at all unusual in several families of squid," says Michael Vecchione, a squid expert at the Smithsonian Institution. In particular, the families Ommastrephidae and Onychoteuthidae are known for their loftiness. "It's not uncommon to find squid on the deck of the ship in the morning," Vecchione adds. Many squid remain in the dark depths during the day to avoid predators, Vecchione explains, but when they venture into shallower waters at night to feed they are liable to jump out of the water in a panic and onto a boat.
These morning-after encounters are not infrequent, but catching a squid in the act of flight is still quite a feat. "It just happens so fast," Maciá says. "You really have to be in the right place in the right time."

Get the squidmug. A motorcyclist or cyclist who rides on the streets as if they are a track. Often, this is the same type of person who is going to crash and wind up wrapped around a light pole looking like a squid.
