last night i noticed that most, if not all the new kids don't know what some of the words we use to communicate while riding mean. Add any other words, expressions, that help while riding.
fall back: slow it down, your dropping ridazz
car back: you have a dam car behind you move to the right
cork: block the intersection politely so the ride can make the light.
hold your line: don't swerve while turning, stick to your path.

this is a great idea, i'll contribute one that i've noticed some people have a hard time with
stop: this means you should stop, ie. do not go
stopping: get ready to stop, don't speed up, ie. we're about to stop

it's very possible they don't know these things because nobody taught them.
when i went to my first few rides, i had somebody with me to teach me all these things. i'm sure many don't.
it would also make sense as to why nobody calls anything out.
nobody simply taught them to do so.
plz call out turns and holes. i know how grateful i was for that when i first started riding.
call out the others too, they'll learn.
