Verboticisms

Pronunciation: ax sell er reddi

Sentence: Cindy had learned enough of the Highway Code to earn her license, but decided early on she like to make up her own rules as she went along. If she reached a red light, she would be accelereddy to gun the gas pedal, by inching forward, thus she rationalized, daring the red light to change to green. This technique got her home a whopping 2 minutes earlier and because she was oblivious to other drivers, made her cause several accidents on the way. It was because of Cindy and drivers like her that the term "Road Rage" was born!

Etymology: accelerate (to cause to move) & red (red light) & ready (anxious to proceed)

Sentence: Autokinesis occurs at a red light when I let my car inch forward into the intersection. Unfailingly, the traffic light changes almost immediately to green.

Etymology: automobile + kinesis (physical movement of something in response to a stimulus)
