Accelerangst: /ax-sell-er-angst/ Philip was in a hurry, which seemed like what 99% of the suburbanites were most of the time. He just moved farther outside his comfort zone of freeways and fast moving cars to the fringes where the slow rural life abuts the encroaching planned neighborhoods. He thought having a bigger house and a lawn to mow would be a step up for him. Little did he know he would now be butting heads, or bumpers, with wandering livestock or an occassional combine. However now he seemed to find himself accelerangst up behind slow moving pickups, shaking his fist and downing a few swigs of Mylanta in one hand while honking his horn with the other. Etymology: accelerate + angst Created by: arrrteest.

Good word! The sentence reminds me of what I’ve soon got to deal with – the inevitable chicken(s) crossing the road and the farmer on the tractor who is oblivious to any cars behind him.OZZIEBOB, 2008-04-07: 20:39:00
Good Blend

A friend of mine always said, “Beware of old men in hats driving Buicks.”I remember driving up the NJ Turnpike at 75MPH and pushing 80 in the right lane and being flashed by motorists thinking I was going too slow!

My dad always said “Beware of men smoking cigars and driving station wagons.” Wouldn’t ya know, my first close call was with one of them?
