I think there were a couple different posters responsible for some of those weird, misspelled phrases. r600DuraAce and ryanf. Gosh, that's been a long time -- my first spell on BF. (I had to make up a new profile when I got back on a while back, since I had forgotten my old one and no longer even had the same email address.)

From winter cycling: car snot/brown sugar = that nasty slushy brown stuff that piles up and nearly impossible to ride through.
Anything from the rules is always fair game.

I just call that "overlapping wheels." Dangerous, yes. "Halfwheeling" to me is when riding alongside someone and you put your front axle even with the front of their front wheel. There's no draft benefit; all it does is encourages them to subconsciously speed up to get even with you. Someone doing that can screw up a whole group.

Tire biting....Riding to close to the wheel in front of you and bumping it.
