To save gasoline by putting a car into neutral (or depressing the clutch) when going down a hill.

When something like a heater or stove is turned up as hot as it can possibly go in order to heat things up in a room as quickly as possible.
"He put the stove on Chinese overdrive so that it got so hot it glowed."
"I set the oven to chinese overdrive to get it as hot as it could get."

A kickass Black Label Society song from the album The Blessed Hellride. Contains a rather large quantity of pinch harmonics, particularly during the chorus, which in the case of Zakk Wylde, is A LOT.
