Newbie Question: What's an UPD?

DonO said:

Like a newbie in any hobby or sport, I have to learn a new uni language
and new uni acronyms. Often they are easy to figure out, but I admit
you've got me stumped.

I've seen it in posts, and I've even seen it on tee-shirts, but I still
don't know what UPD means. So I decided to try to figure it out.
Which one of these is right?

UP Down - 'cause that's what I do all the time when I am learning my
mounts

Un-Professional Driver - when I'm wobbling all over the side of the
road on my uni

Uni Pedal Disintegrated - after a particularly bad landing

'Ur Penis is Damaged - after a long ride

So, fellow uni-ists, what is an UPD?

Good guesses, but no.
UPD= Un-Planned Dismount (aka falling)

A UPD is an UnPlanned Dismount.

David Stone coined the term to describe a fall in any form or another.
I recently made UPD t-shirts, and have 3 of them left.

Is there some kind of database of uni acronyms/names/terms? Also being
a bit of a newbie, I think it could really uh, 'help my development' :p
(Yay! UPD! One more to add to my list.)

acronyms for 'Unicycling Articles and Tutorials'

Klaas, what a wonderful site. You answered all sorts of questions that
I can't imagine anyone wanting to ask! And as an engineer, I can
relate totally.

Cheers, Don.
