pylon

A motorist that drives at the posted speed limit or very close to it.

If we consider an observational reference frame at the posted speed limit, these motorists traveling at the posted speed limit are effectively stationary.

On larger roads, these "pylons" can be easily navigated around by any real drivers (motorists that travel safely while well above the posted speed limit).
On the road, there are two types of people:
Drivers, and pylons.

fool's mate

A woman not needing the requisite 7 hours of contact prior to sleeping with a man for whom she has just met. This term originates within the PUA community.
Jake - See that blonde over there? I just banged her out in the bathroom.

Marshall - So what, she's a fool's mate. You need to raise your standards if you want to be an mPUA.

breakdown

Sections of hardcore / metalcore / deathcore songs which are rhythmically appropriate for most forms of hardcore dancing (mosh), but not appropriate for two-stepping. In order to be rhythmically appropriate, the music must conform to the following requirements:

1. Tempo: Breakdowns are characterized by tempos in the 65 bpm - 70 bpm range, but also spanning from 50 bpm (double breakdown), to 90 bpm (fast breakdown / stomp breakdown).

2. Content: Breakdowns are further characterized by strong emphasis on rhythm, snares on the 2nd & 4th quarter notes, cymbals on either eighth notes or quarter notes, and kick drum patterns which accent the often staccato guitar playing. Many modifications to this formula can be made (displaced snares, melody), but these modifications tend to detract from the maximum impact of the breakdown.

Because these two requirements must be satisfied, entire songs can be breakdowns, and do not need to contain any fast parts. As well, many slow sections of songs of these genres are not breakdowns, because they do not meet the content requirements.
Pantera is generally recognized as the originator of the breakdown, as featured at approximately 3:52 of "Domination" off Cowboys from Hell. Today, this part of Domination would be recognized as an "old school" breakdown, and only the old timers would hardcore dance to it.

gauntlet

In driving, an open corridor without vehicles formed on a 6-lane freeway / highway in between the passing / fast lane and the exterior / slow lane. Typically occurs just prior to an off-ramp, as the cars move & line up in the exterior lane to get onto the off-ramp, and the balance of drivers move into the passing lane to avoid the congestion.

At this point, a driver can choose to "charge the gauntlet" or "run the gauntlet", by moving into the middle lane and accelerating quickly. This makes it too dangerous for other drivers to enter the lane, keeping it free and clear.
Michael - Geez, I thought we were going to be stuck in traffic for an hour. Good thing I got that opportunity to run the gauntlet; I passed at least 30 cars!

Thomas - Michael, if you ever steal my car again, you will not live to see your 15th birthday.

Michael - Yes Dad.

driving like a pissed off teenager

Originally from Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, anytime a real driver loses his or her touch, putting themselves in a position where they endanger their own safety or that of the other drivers on the road, they are said to be "driving like a pissed off teenager".
Lucius: "You know you're driving like a pissed off teenager, okay?"
Ricky Bobby: "This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons."
