Bed time's definitions
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.

Get the me-firsting lanemug. A neurological condition in which a patient suffers sporadic outbursts of anger starting in one's middle age.
Sufferers are known to be calm throughout their lives and never get angry until some time in their 40s thru 60s. This all ends with an outburst of verbal anger, typically directed against those known to the patient, in which victims feel threatened.
After first outburst, a few years will typically pass until the next outburst. Intervals between outbursts will divide in half from then on, until patient becomes unmanageable and must be institutionalized.
There is no known cure or treatment for this condition.
Not inherited, but occurs in white and black people, mostly those of Slavic, Mediterranean, and African descent, and never in Asians or Native Americans.

Get the chametzmug. 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.

Instead of wasting it, we wibby it.
