Squid is a derogatory term referring to a motorcyclist......,
typically on a sportbike, that rides with minimum of safety gear, no rider training and poor skill while attempting to ride faster than their ability allows.
<b>The term is derived from the 1960's</b> when Navy Sailors would dock in San Diego, they would purchase two-stroke motorcycles (which typically spew black smoke) and ride them around, with a minimum of safety gear while drunk.
Also, Marines are <b><i>Jarheads</i></b>, Sailors are <b><i>Squids</i></b> and that dates way back before any two-stroke motorcycles. Because of the rivalry between the two, maybe the plate frame was made by a Marine bike shop...
Also, <b>The Navy:</b> "Squid" negatively refers to how well they can drink. Outside the Navy, other service members generally refer to Navy men as Squids.
"Jarheads"
<b>The Marines.</b> The general belief is that in boot camp, the Marine boot's brain is removed and put in a jar until he retires from active service. This obviously explains why Marines are stupid enough to stay in a unit with a 100% mortality rate, or charge an enemy exo-suit with his bare hands. It doesn't explain why Army & Navy types are stupid enough to call a Marine "stupid Jarhead" in a bar full of Marines.
...................................
"Over the last two hundred years US Marines and US sailors have gigged each without end. But in the end, we are brothers.
"One marine had transferred onto the ship after having been wounded during a firefight in Vietnam. A female celebrity came aboard and he was assigned to escort her everywhere. There he was in his marine dress blues with his purple heart and the gorgeous female celebrity. Of course this caused a little resentment amongst the white hats.
It was as if the brass thought that if a marine didn't guard her we would "lose control" near her. We were not out to sea that long that that would happen.
Scuttlebutt was that he was transferred to sea duty because he had been wounded in a very private area and that's why he got the "escort duty." Everyone on board "knew" the truth.
One day, he was cleaning his rifle and I was talking to another marine across the space and I quietly said to my buddy, another Marine, "is it true what they say about him. He got his ***** shot off in Vietnam and that's why he got sea duty?"
My friend snorted and said, "hay grunt, come here, listen to this squid" . (We respectfully called them "jarheads" and they affectionately called us "squids.")
I didn't want to repeat myself as he came over...but two marines can be persuasive. "Is it true you got your ***** shot off in Vietnam and that's why you got sea duty? Everyone on board is saying that."
He said, "hell no its not true. No wonder everyone is looking at me funny!"
:-D

yeah, it was a school trip.
between sophmore and junior years in high school (bout 3 years ago). We traveled the whole country in two weeks, starting in Guadalajara, ending in Cancun (which was 4 full days). Towns visited: Guadalajara, Patzcuaro, Taxco, Mexico City, Pelenque, Merida, Cancun.
All i have to say is......awesome. Country was beautiful. Mexico City could use a little work though. =)
ever been to Xel Ha? (i think thats how its spelled, pronounced 'shell-HA')
