Coacharacha<\/strong>: \/koatch a ratcha<\/em>\/ Elena commuted everyday for an hour on the bus and never was able to find a seat or a gentleman on it. She used her time to practice her dance steps and most enjoyed The Coacharacha as she called it. One day she brought her music and swayed to that tune, keeping her balance and shaking her hips. Before long others were joining her to make their commute more fun. The driver was greatly amused to see her lead a conga line of dancers off the bus downtown. Eventually she got a T-Mobile commercial getting everyone at her stop at the town square to dance the coacharacha which was a huge hit on Youtube! Etymology:<\/em> Coach (a vehicle carrying many passengers; used for public transport or a railcar where passengers ride) & La Cucaracha (A Latin mambo-style dance to the the tune of La Cucaracha, a popular Spanish\/Mexican folksong about a cockroach, thought to satirize the Spanish American War) Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n

Allaboarding<\/strong>: \/all-a-board-ing<\/em>\/ Allaboarding is a sport designed to add a little excitement to a morning commute. As with surfboarding, skateboarding, flowboarding and snowboarding; allaboarding is about the skill of combining balance and motion using public transportation. Specialties can include: metroboarding for subway specialists, retroboarding for those who still use trolleys, transboarding for bus passengers and railboarding for train riders. In the sport of allaboarding travelers must make an entire commute without support from handrails or straps during frequent stops, starts and acceleration. Points are deducted for bumping other passengers, hitting someone in the knee, eye or crotch with a purse, briefcase or elbow, not using deodorant or marinating oneself in a vile perfume or cologne. Etymology:<\/em> boarding: sport of balancing on a board in motion; aboard: the act of getting aboard a bus, train or ship — “All aboard” is an expression heard often in old movies from the engineer of a train or the driver of a bus or trolley Created by:<\/em> mrskellyscl.<\/p>\n

Huladupe<\/strong>: \/hu-la-dy\u00c3\u00bcp<\/em>\/ The first time Kimberly saw Zinnia was on a school bus in 1993. Zinnia was a new student and nobody on the bus would budge an inch to afford her a seat. Nervously, and awkwardly, Zinnia positioned and braced herself as the bus lurched toward school, continually redistributing her body weight and the weight of her backpack in rhythm with the jerky, crowded vehicle. Kimberly tried to articulate the intricate dance Zinnia seemed to be performing, and when the bus braked just hard enough for Zinnia to fall face-first, Kimberly had an epiphany: “Hula-dupe!” Etymology:<\/em> hula (a hip-centric dance popular at Hawaiian resorts) + dupe (someone easily fooled) Created by:<\/em> thegoatisbad.<\/p>\n

Brakedance<\/strong>: \/br\u00c4\u0081kdans<\/em>\/ Cindy didn*t use to enjoy her ride to work. When she didn*t get a seat, which was often, she would grab a strap and hold on for dear life. If she had stopped for coffee she would often spill it on herself or other passengers, maybe even sloshing some up her nose. Now she will get on the bus and forgo a seat even if available. The new sport is to brakedance all the way to work, holding on to nothing, swaying with every lurching turn and every sudden application of the brakes. It wakes her up so much better than a stop at Starbucks. Etymology:<\/em> Brake (a device for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle) + dance (move rhythmically to music) play off breakdancing Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n
