Hurry Honkers

People who honk their horn a millisecond after a light changes like they're a drag racer. A rude move that commonly has the reverse of its intended effect.

"Take it easy. Where's the fire, hurry honkers?"

Paratroop Park

When a passenger jumps out of your car to stand in a parking space that has opened up behind or across the street while you pull the car around.

"We thought we would never find a spot but Matt got us a rockstar paratroop park right out front for me."

Perma-parked

People who don't move their car for days, sometimes weeks on end because parking in their neighborhood is so difficult.

"That car's been perma-parked for so long it's got a patina of "city dust" on it."
