Dr. Badwrench's definitions
The arms-extended-upwards palms-facing-out and swaying side-to-side or hopping up-and-down dance done by fervent Christians while in church. Usually seen in more fundamentalist/evangelical churches and "Songs4Worship" commercials. The religious version of jazz hands
What's with that Jeez hands dance they're doing?
That's why Baptists don;t have sex standing up. It leads to dancing.

Get the assalmug. A motorcycle that has been modified by removing unnecessary parts like turn signals and crash bars, cutting the fenders down (bobbing) or even removing them completely, installing a smaller fuel tank, etc.
Originally the modifications were done to increase the motorcycle's power-to-weight ratio for increased performance and racing.
Also called a cut-down, California special or Fat Bob if the stock gas tanks are kept on.
Bobbers were the precursor to choppers.

Get the bobbermug. A modified, customized motorcycle, typically a Harley Davidson, although "back in the day" Indian, Triumph and BSA motorcycles were "chopped" and these days Japanese motorcycles are being transformed into choppers.
The term "chopper" comes from the origins of motorcycle customization. Unnecessary parts were (sometimes literally) "chopped" off to reduce the weight of the motorcycle and increase its performance for racing. Rear fenders were "bobbed" (where the term "bobber" comes from), front fenders, crash bars, saddlebags, windshields, head and tail lights, kickstands, mufflers, etc. were all discarded to improve the machine's power-to-weight ratio. Forks were extended to improve ground clearance and later raked to compensate for better stability.
Contrary to popular belief, a chopper is not simply a motorcycle built with long forks, a stretched frame, chrome and billet crap and a gazillion-color $10K paintjob. True choppers are generally built from another motorcycle or motorcycles, by the owner of the motorcycle and modifications are done to the builder/owner's desires and usually done on a budget.
The big-bucks "chopper" shops do not build choppers. OCC does not build true choppers. They build custom motorcycles. A custom can emulate the classic chopper styles (bobber, East Bay lowrider, digger, fat bob, etc.) but it is not a true chopper. Same as a fibreglass-bodied 350/350-powered 5-window coupe that looks like a hot rod, it is not a true hot rod.
