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. It's weird and it's scary, but my Chevy Impala and I have metaphysical powers together which could break down any city's computerized traffic flow.

Pronunciation: inchersecting

Sentence: Jane believed that she needed to be inchersecting at every red light in order to continue driving, a notion she'd had since she was little. Her father would entertain her by inching up at traffic signals far enough that he could see when the light in the opposite direction turned yellow. Then he would count to three and say, "abracadabra," making her believe that he had magical powers to change red lights.

Etymology: inch: to move forward slowly in small increments + intersecting: to cut across or through as at an intersection of a road

Driving barefoot is illegal in New Jersey. Another reason to move elsewhere. - metrohumanx, 2008-10-30: 13:43:00

Mustang Sally rocks! - metrohumanx, 2008-10-30: 13:52:00

If you are barefoot, I think you can actually feel the light change too! - mweinmann, 2008-10-30: 14:03:00
