What is 97?

When you get really angry at your bike and toss it like Bjarne Riis did in the Tour de France 1997.

On the final time trial stage everything went wrong and Bjarne had enough.

See the incident on youtube by searching for "Bjarne Riis 1997 bike toss"

This term can be used around friends that either know of Bjarne Riis or are into cycling, seeing as this is a very famous moment in the history of the race.

Brian: My bike stopped working on my way home, so I went really mad and did a Bjarne '97 on it!

Sean: No way, dude. Did you go B97 on it's ass?

Brian: Yeah. Set me back a few bobs at the repair shop, but it was worth it.

97 - what is it?

A fake statistic referring to the number of women apparently sexually harassed in the United Kingdom. The actual study the media uses to base this statistic off of does not mention 97% once, and it also includes staring, asking out for a drink, and telling jokes as forms of sexual harassment.

If the 97% statistic of women sexually harrassed counts staring as sexual harassment how the hell is it not 100%?

What does "97" mean?

A precise-sounding figure which at first sight appears impressively close to total unanimity but on closer inspection is obviously meaningless because of selection bias. Extensively used by a snake oil salesman or confidence trickster to suggest that the prospective ill-informed customer would be ridiculed by their peers if they failed to make the purchase. Also used ironically to suggest precision when in fact both the speaker and the listener know that the figure is a stab in the dark, such as sales estimates.

"97% of priests believe in God".

"I am confident that with our new widget we shall acquire 97% of the teenager market."

"97% of statistics are completely made up."

97 - what does it mean?

The year anyone with a flux capacitor would want to visit.
A good year fo B -Vice to smoke that sticky icky green Shiiiiiiit and say Fuckin Fuck alot. A bad year for innocent collars of misfits t shirts. A great year for red jeeps and rebel flags. A good year for cough syrup, Carl's Junior, Swan Lake, Denny's, Oogies, parties in Jake Bo's basement, and Jubilee.
The year of the original penis bottle rocket, the full effect of the blue blazer and many other timeless pieces of forgotten awesomeness.

JC: "Dude what do you think is better? Now or '97"

Dan: "'97 dude, cuz I like to smash pumpkins behind willow K."
