An act of road rage provoked by a motorist driving slowly while hypermiling (driving in a manner that attempts to use fuel sparingly)
When the driver of car #1 was letting the car coast up a hill way below the speed limit, the driver of car #2 was so upset that he passed and blocked his path. This was considered a hypermiling tantrum.

Not perfectly on time; possibly somewhat late, but no harm is done as a result. The implication is that there is no need to be exactly on time, and starting a little late is acceptable.
The term comes from Jewish culture, which is often relaxed about punctuality.
When an event is schedule to take place at 2:00 Jewish time, it could be at 2:05, 2:12, 2:15, or even 2:35, and everyone is satisfied.

Leavened grain products that may not be consumed by Jewish people on Passover.
Matzah is eaten instead.
Jewish law prohibits Jewish people from eating, owning, or otherwise benefitting from chametz during the holiday of Passover.
Jewish people must also use a separate set of dishes during the holiday on which chametz is not eaten.
All chametz in the possession of Jews must either be destroyed, disposed of, or sold to a gentile for the duration of the holiday.
Also can be spelled as "chometz" or "chumetz."

A place where chametz (and non-Passover dishes) are stored during Passover.
Jewish law requires Jewish people to refrain from ownership of chametz during Passover. Chametz owned by a Jew before Passover may be kept for use after Passover if it is sold to a gentile. If so, it may remain in the Jew's dwelling if stored out of sight.
In some homes, the area the owner has designated for storage looks like a monster mouth, hence the name "chametz monster."
