From Wiki:<br /> Sahib means "friend" in Arabic and was commonly used in the Indian Sub-continent as a courteous term.<br /> Sahiba is the authentic form of address to be used for a female. Under the British Raj, however, the word used for female members of the establishment was adapted to memsahib, a corruption of the English word "ma'am" which was added to the word sahib. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6609#post-128929 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 12:08:16 +0000 Baldcyclist 128929@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ah SWMBO, now educated.</p> <p>What's memsmahibs or something? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6609#post-128874 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 09:01:22 +0000 Arellcat 128874@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Substituting either into the other, does that mean an Audax requires two bags? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6609#post-128854 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:32:14 +0000 kaputnik 128854@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Audax - a Randonneur ridden with a bar bag<br /> Randonneur - an Audax ridden with a [Carradice] saddle bag </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6609#post-71236 Mon, 21 May 2012 00:15:14 +0000 recombodna 71236@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>occasionally in the case of the ERC sometimes the W doesn't stand for woman...... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6609#post-71234 Sun, 20 May 2012 21:48:22 +0000 amir 71234@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>MAMIL middle aged man in lycra<br /> MAWIL middle aged woman in lycra</p> <p>ERC Edinburgh Road Club - a popular local club populated in part by the above </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6609#post-71233 Sun, 20 May 2012 21:44:44 +0000 amir 71233@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>n+1 the universal requirement for one more bike<br /> BUG bicycle user group </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6609#post-71229 Sun, 20 May 2012 20:53:24 +0000 ruggtomcat 71229@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>CPC Cycle PC of this parish<br /> and what does CHDOT stand for? ;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6609#post-71083 Fri, 18 May 2012 12:35:34 +0000 wingpig 71083@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh aye.
