I think my neighbor may be committing cane fraud. She sometimes walks with a cane and appears to struggle, and sometimes runs out to her car with no cane as if she is in a hurry to get somewhere.

Get the bedspace mug.Nickname for former U.S. president George W. Bush.
A reference to the burning bush in the Bible, which was on fire, but was not charred.
He was nicknamed as such because he was plagued with scandal throughout his entire presidency, yet he managed to complete 8 years in the White House and beyond without any legal action being taken against him or any plans to remove him from office, and since he finished, he has still remained untouched by the hands of the law.

Get the Jewish time mug.A traffic lane intended for some other purpose, such as turning or exiting, but used for "me-firsting" by a motorist.
A me-firsting lane can be any of the following:
1.) A turning lane when used to go straight. The motorist gets into that lane (which is clear), goes faster than the speed of others in the congested "straight" lane, and then sneaks in in front of another vehicle s/he was previously behind in order to get ahead in traffic and possibly make a light.
2.) An upcoming exit or merge lane used to pass slowed traffic on a highway, then sneak back into the lane where one previously was, but ahead of one or more vehicles.
