Who Says Tubular anymore?

Actually, who *ever* said Tubular? Well, that's not the point. The point is that as Raiders of the Lost Chuanr, we are the deckest that Beijing has to offer. And to make sure we stay deck, I just want to point out the following advice, given by The Hipster Handbook.

Like most social groups, Hipsters have their own way of communicating. They converse using special terms and lingo to show they are in the know. Being up on the latest slang is essential to being a Hipster.



Though it may be humorous to tell someone that his or her Pumas are "tubular," utilizing a dated term such as this can be a serious faux pas if not used ironically. Retro terms such as "grody," "bofu," "fresh," and "wicked" all work well when with a tongue-in-cheek, but such words should be used sparingly.



We recommend you take a quick peek at our glossary of terms, to educate yourself on the lingo. With a little practice, we will help you turn an awkward sentence like, "I'm gonna look bitchin' in my groovy jacket," into the much hipper "I'll polish in my deck flogger."

So, watch out for that slip of tongue tubular comment and keep those bofu in check.
