Czech neck 

'Czech neck' refers to a method of cravat-knotting popularised by Byron and his contemporaries whilst on the Grand Tour. It was soon found that the bow knots favoured by the London set were ill-adapted to the needs of the stylish traveller - not only was overheating common on the road, but there were also several accidents linked to the neckwear.

After the tragic death of Lord de Quincelly-Popham of Barnes in a cravat-tangling incident in a Venetian brothel, young men began to tie their cravats in a tidier fashion that left fewer ends flapping and allowed for improved aeration.

The look became popular as 'Czech neck'. It is sometimes said that this otherwise unexplained title derives from a passing comment made by Percy Bysshe Shelley: "Check his neck, that cravat is sick!"
"In this portrait, Sir Robert Eggerston-Jolly proclaims his social status and European 'education' with the choice of the Czech neck"

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.
Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
