Sentence: Willy doesn't trust traffic lights. He is a jeepercreeper. Whenever he comes to a red light he will inch forward to get the sensor to trigger a green light.

Etymology: Jeep (a small, sturdy motor vehicle with four-wheel drive, esp. one used by the military) Jeepers (exclamation used to express surprise or alarm) + creeper (one who moves slowly and carefully, esp. in order to avoid being heard or noticed)

Pronunciation: Green dy

Sentence: The heliograph of sirens flickered on Bob's face as he walked slowly around the crumpled piece of tin that was once his car; Jane, the damsel to whom he was en route, was on his mind and he became a bit too greendy... until before long he found himself in the middle of the intersection with a frightening semi-truck on one end and an equally terrifying Mack truck on the other end. Bob, groaning inwardly, would have to postpone his date. The price of being greendy!

Pronunciation: Jet-a-mind-trik

Sentence: Amalia was a pro at the Jettamindtrick. She knew that, with the magical power of her car and her superior mind, she could persuade other drivers at a four-way stop that she was there first, she could merge across four lanes of traffic at rush hour and yes, she could get a leading green arrow even as the only car in the turn lane. Sadly, however, she over-reached her "powers" when she tried to silently dissuade a state trooper from giving her a speeding ticket. After seeing her make odd, painful looking facial contortions at him, the trooper not only wrote her a ticket, he had her take a road side sobriety test as well.

Etymology: Jedi mind trick from Star Wars altered to incorporate Jetta, the Volkswagen sedan.

Amalia should run into Heidi on a deserted back road. - metrohumanx, 2008-10-30: 02:24:00
