summon a bus

To light a cigarette while waiting for a bus at a bus stop. Derived from the belief in murphy's/sod's law, which states that a bus (on which smoking is not permitted) will always arrive shortly after a cigarette is lit.

(Man waiting for bus): "Ill just summon the bus.."

silverlink

Very slow train. Takes longer than the megabus, but costs more! Also slang term for skiving or driving too slowly.

Croft, why are you doing 60 on the motorway? Are you the silverlink?
