Draglighting<\/strong>: \/drag lite ing <\/em>\/ Days after buying his minivan, Tom finally realized that he could no longer draglight without feeling a lasting sense of shame and self loathing. Etymology:<\/em> drag racing + light Created by:<\/em> yellowbird.<\/p>\n

Anticipeeler<\/strong>: \/Antis-i-peel-er<\/em>\/ Late for her colonoscopy appointment, Cynthia kept getting stopped at red lights. A chronic anticipeeler, she kept inching her car forward in hopes of triggering the “sensor” so she could peel away!

Autokinesis<\/strong>: \/aw-toh-ki-nee-sis<\/em>\/ 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. Etymology:<\/em> automobile + kinesis (physical movement of something in response to a stimulus) Created by:<\/em> Stevenson0.<\/p>\n
