white house

A structure in Washington DC which was never reached by Canadian forces, as they were destroyed at the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. It was burnt by British forces in the War of 1812, but a rainstorm dosed the flames.

2) A professional who was educated in a Canadian college and is usually an immigrant.
1) Those frostbacks are so stupid they think THEY burnt the White House in 1812 in place of the British.

2) My doctor is a frostback.. He had to leave Canada because Canada can't afford to pay their professionals enough.

speed team

Not to be confused with the lightning rod, and usually involving more than one other car, a speed team is a group of drivers who speed on the left lane of the highway during long road trips. Usually hardened road warriors will know that the more cars that are speeding together, the less likely a state police car will pull them over, as long as they are going at a reasonable speed (80 on a 65 posted).

Called a 'team' because, if a slower float is in the left lane, they'll often all pass it on the right together. Speed teammates rarely even know each other, and more often than not the team will eventually break up when one leaves the highway.
I was speed teaming from Boston to Providence and I got there 30 minutes earlier than I expected.

Blinka

A car's turning signal. Cars sold in New England may as well have these as optional instead of standard, because few people use them.
That guy decided to turn on his left blinka after he had been sitting in the middle of the road while the traffic behind him stood dumbfounded for about half a minute.

Canadian Tuxedo

Disgustingly unfashionable clothing worn by Canadians or blue-collar Americans. They usually refer to one of the two...

1) Denim on denim. A jean jacket with a matching pair of jeans.

2) A plaid button-down shirt and a pair of dickies.

Like the guido tuxedo (tracksuit shananigans), these clothes aren't suited for anything other than a casual party. Unlike the guido tuxedo, a Canadian tuxedo isn't really suited for a casual party either.
Hey, we are going to a hockey/nascar/wrestling event. Bring your Canadian tuxedo.

choking

The cause of blowing a four game lead in the AL Championship Series to a wild-card team with a much lower payroll.
The New York Yankees were choking hard in the 2004 ALCS.

police fundraiser

A group of cop cars or motorcycles on the side of a large roadway; usually not a highway but a mainstreet with a large gap between the nearest traffic lights; who have a radar pointing about a mile down the roadway. One of the officers will step into the middle of the road ahead and direct the speeding vehicle to the breakdown lane, or if the vehicle has passed, will chase it down in the police car.

Usually the purpose of this event is to get cheap tickets out of people doing 5 miles over the speed limit. This works well since wealthier people tend to have powerful luxury cars which can go very fast without them even realizing it. While claiming to be 'keeping the roads safe', they are merely looking for a cheap buck out of hardworking individuals. Driving in a straight line a little to fast isn't as dangerous as the assholes who switch lanes aggressively, cut faster moving traffic off, and tailgate. These pigs should be out patrolling, looking for aggressive drivers. Of course, if you're driving an expensive car, you'll get pulled over for being the victim.
The cops sat in the breakdown lane with a radar, scamming people going 5-10 MPH over in order to get a quick buck for the local police station. Meanwhile, a shitbox Honda cuts off my Lexus, and the cop 5 carlengths infront of him slams his brakes (real safe move asshole), gets behind me and pulls ME over for tailgating (as if he could have assessed from that far ahead). I appealed that scam easily and got off free when the pig didnt even show up at the appeal hearing... but next time I won't be so lucky since I'm foolish enough to drive a car worth more than that pig's annual earnings.
