Pronunciation: strēt'nĭk

Sentence: At first I was offended. I'd lost my job, gotten kicked out of school, and told my folks I was "going on the road for a while". "You're nothing but a crazy streetnik!", they replied with disdain. I didn't understand at the time, and I was angry; offended. But now, looking out the window of my filthy Volkswagen bus, exchanging knowing smiles amongst the armada of dirty, jobless, hippies across the lanes of traffic; I realized that it was my parents who did not understand. Out the windows of my car I saw the best minds of my generation, united in our adventure on the open road; living in campgrounds, rest-stop parking-lots, trees, parks, city benches. Our cars were our only private refuge, and we loved them, cared for them like companions. We were fordniks, hondaniks, volksniks, chevyniks – all streetniks, all starving, hysterical, naked angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry starry dynamo in the machinery of our cars.

Etymology: street + beatnik

It did not seem like a luxury any longer but they were glad it wasn't a VW Rabbit.

Etymology: Hummer + Abode + a play on the phrase "humble abode" >> Hummer (a brand of off-road vehicles sold by General Motors) Abode (the home or place where one lives)
