repub

A member of the Republican Party, derogatory.

Pronounced with an accent on the "re" to mimic other similar-sounded derogatory terms, such as retard.
I hope we can vote these repubs out of office.

That damn repub!

Those repubs have really screwed up the economy.

This real stupid repub is making a mess out of our society.

manner bashing

The act of humiliating another person by criticizing them about their poor or supposedly poor manners in front of other people.

Sometimes, it is done to a person who really has poor manners. Other times, it is done by one person to another who does not necessarily have any problematic manners simply for the sake of causing the victim pain or anguish, or to take out anger or get revenge on the victim.
I cannot stand being around my mother-in-law. She is always manner bashing me.

hypermiling tantrum

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.

me-firsting

While driving, one of the following acts:

- When a light turns green (with no arrow), quickly making a left turn (or right turn where driving is on the left side) before the first cars in the opposing traffic, which have the right-of-way, have a chance to go.

- Use of a lane designated for a specific purpose, such as turning, to pass other stopped or slower cars.
You are "me-firsting" or "me firsting" if:

1.) You get a good jump just when the light turns green to make a left. This depends on the cars about to go the other way that you would otherwise have to wait for getting a slower start.

There is also a move called a Pittsburgh left where the opposing driver allows the motorist to make the left turn as a courtesy.

2.) If there is a left-turn, right-turn, exit-only, or temporary merge lane, and you plan to go straight, but there are more cars going straight than turning, and the special lane is clear, making use of one of these lanes to pass and get ahead of other cars is called me-firsting. This could take place during a traffic jam on a highway or when the light will not allow enough time for all the cars to proceed through on a single cycle, but will allow the "me-firster" to do so if able to pass.

The lane used as such to the motorist is called a me-firsting lane.

In any of the above examples, it is easier to "me-first" in front of or before a truck or an older car with a slower engine.

The laws vary in every place as to what is allowed, and what punishments can be when laws are broken.

Jewish time

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.
The wedding will start at 6:00 PM Jewish time.

We will meet in the lobby at 4:30 Jewish time.

scamera

A traffic camera, in the eyes of those who hate them and think the state is out to make money off of them.

"Scamera" is a portmanteau of SCAM and CAMera. (It could also be a portmanteau of Speed and CAMERA).
I got slapped by a SCAMERA!!!

pooping bus

A public bus (usually an intercity route) that has no bathroom and that goes for a significant amount of time (say an hour or longer, sometimes several hours) without making any stops to allow passengers to use the restroom.

These buses are called pooping buses because not everyone can hold it in for the long ride, leading some passengers to go in their pants.
When riding on a pooping bus, wearing a diaper is recommended.
