In driving, an open corridor without vehicles formed on a 6-lane freeway / highway in between the passing / fast lane and the exterior / slow lane. Typically occurs just prior to an off-ramp, as the cars move & line up in the exterior lane to get onto the off-ramp, and the balance of drivers move into the passing lane to avoid the congestion.
At this point, a driver can choose to "charge the gauntlet" or "run the gauntlet", by moving into the middle lane and accelerating quickly. This makes it too dangerous for other drivers to enter the lane, keeping it free and clear.

Michael - Geez, I thought we were going to be stuck in traffic for an hour. Good thing I got that opportunity to run the gauntlet; I passed at least 30 cars!
Thomas - Michael, if you ever steal my car again, you will not live to see your 15th birthday.
Michael - Yes Dad.

A fictional place where you tell people you will send them to be punished or send them to compete. The Gauntlet, although strcitly imaginary, is like an arena with traps, like giant balls that chase after you and spikes that come from the floor. It is used as a comical threat that doesn't really mean anything.

A clandestine drinking contest where a number of participants choose to insert their fist into their rectum before proceeding to hop down a bartop. Anywhere from nine to twenty shots are evenly spaced along the bar. The contestant must drink each shot without spilling liquor or removing the fist. This can continue for subsequent rounds, with the number of shots decreasing, and the space between each shot increasing, until a clear winner has been determined.
