A brand of sneaker with a removable slick plastic plate in the soles, under the arch of the foot. The plate enabled the wearer to grind on rails and edges without the aid of skates or a board. Style-wise, they tended to be pretty chunky looking, similar to skate shoes, but were probably not as comfortible. They were cool for only a few months in 1998-99, but were popular enough to cause concern among parents and schools. Succeeded by Heelys a couple years later, which had heel-mounted weels and were uglier and even less comfortible. Soaps is now a defunct maker.
Haha, my cousin saved up for a vintage pair of Soaps and broke his jaw the first week after he got 'em!

see: Geister Fahrer. An individual who drives going the wrong direction on an autobahn, often with headlights turned off at night. Usually a drunk driver, but can also be a suicide attempt, thrill seeker, or horrendus driver error.
My travel agent gave me this cautionary lecture on ghost drivers in europe. Does that really happen?

Roach Coaches are food service trucks, usually found making stops in industrial areas and county fairs. Some of the food can be quite good, but whatever you do, don't eat the sushi!

A car preferred by middle aged women when they have their own mid-life crisis of sorts.
It handles pretty well too.

Among scale modeling hobbyists, JMN is an acronym for Joyless Modeling Nazi(sometimes Zealot, making JMZ). JMNs are too obsessed with exact details and accuracy to actually enjoy their hobby. As a result, they are usually unhappy, arrogant, elitist, judgemental, and seldom actually finish any models. The term was coined among aircraft modelers, but the term applies to other genres, particularly Armor and Sci-Fi modeling. Although certain online forums are known for being JMN hangouts, they can be anywhere.
Things a JMN would obsess over.
Rivet-counting.
Luftwaffe(RLM) paint-matching.
Messerschmitt Me 109 vs Bf 109.
Expensive aftermarket add-ons for kits.
F-16 Viper Block number.
Deficiencies in commercially available models.
Details that would be impossible to see in miniature, such as a pilot's eyebrows.

The Eurofighter Typhoon, also known as the EF-2000 and EFA, is a new(as of 2005) multirole jet fighter made by Eurofighter GmbH, a conglomeration of British, Spanish, German, and Italian aerospace companies. Like most modern fighters of the 1990s, the Eurofighter is the result of a painfully long development period dating back to the early 1970s and is just now entering service.
The Typhoon features a delta wing with canards(a rather trendy arrangment), a chin-mounted air intake, a funky looking bulbous canopy, and a fucking huge tailfin. Despite the fact that the Eurofighter currently lacks thrust vectoring, its pretty damn manouverable. Its also supercruise capable. Compared to new American and Russian fighters, it doesn't appear to be stealthy.

Sure, the Eurofighter is probably pretty kickass, but I'll bet an F-22 would still own it. Not that i like the Raptor too much either, long live the Tomcat!
