Reflexshun: /re fleks shun/ Shirley felt an automatic reflexshun to slam on the brake when driving with her boyfriend Dan. He drove way too fast for her liking, so her leg reacted by trying to slam the non-existant brake on the passenger side. She should not have felt like being this defensive at all when riding with him, but seriously, even at the fast food drive through??? Etymology: Reflex (an automatic instinctive unlearned reaction to a stimulus) & Shun (avoid and stay away from deliberately; stay clear of)

Passenjerk: /pasinjərk/ Lucy is a terrible traveler. If she isn’t the driver she takes on the role of the passenjerk, twitching, sighing and stomping on the imaginary brakes every time there is some flex in the traffic flow. With her in the car it’s a good idea to leave a window down at least a crack so that her sucking air through clenched teeth doesn’t create a vacuum that cracks the windshield or cause the driver to pass out for lack of oxygen. Etymology: passenger (a traveler on a public or private conveyance other than the driver, pilot, or crew) + jerk (a quick, sharp, sudden movement/a contemptibly obnoxious person) Created by: artr.
