Biddance???
While watching the Overcoming DVD Extras disc, while Bjarne is in the car, he continually calls the water bottles 'biddance'. Why?
Is biddance just water in another language? It certainly isn't water in latin based languages. I did a google search on biddance and got squat... |

Re: Biddance???
Cause the movie is in many languages, I have the english subtitles on. They say Biddance. That's why I thought biddance. Certainly sounds like biddance.

Re: Biddance???
In australia biddon was a common term to describe the water bottle when I first started racing in the eighties. These days it is used far less. Most people use the term water bottle.
I miss that word biddon. I have decided that I will start using that word again instead of water bottle. |

Re: Biddance???
Ha! Biddance!!!
Too funny.... When English/Americans/Australians pronounce "bidons" it sounds like this new word, biddance. Made my day.....great comedy. |
