A zipper merge happens when motorists use both lanes of traffic all the way to a defined merge area, and then alternate in "zipper" fashion into the open lane. By doing it this way, both lanes are used right up until the end, which advocates like New think is a more efficient use of road space.
1st Motorist: "Zipper merging is best for slow heavy traffic. If traffic is light, early merging is fine."
2nd Motorist: "Only problem with zipper merge are the idiots who will not let you merge in front of them so they pull up tight to the car in front of them. They do this even if you try to merge early. I typically will merge at the first available open space."

A try (a punt or a missed field goal) that scores a single point for the kicking team under CFL rules, when a kicked ball touches or crosses the dead line or a sideline in goal, and touches the ground, a player or some object beyond these lines, and is signalled with a red flag.

American Guy 2: As someone who only watches the NFL. I'm afraid I can't help you because I'm just as mindfucked as you...
Canadian Guy: Only in Canadian Football, if you kick a ball out of the endzone for what in American Football would be a touchback, you score 1 point, called a Rouge or a Single.
