blindspot 

1) A point in your car, usually part of your vehicle chassis, that blocks sight when you are trying to get your surroundings.

2) When a large behemoth vehicle, usually a minivan, SUV, or pickup truck with a rear cabin, is parked next to you, making it hard, if at all possible, to see any oncoming traffic. They may also be the large vehicle on the left or right when you are at an intersection attempting to make a turn.
1) You should configure your rearview mirrors to eliminate as much blindspot as possible.

2) I couldn't see the oncoming traffic because some moron parked his Expedition right near the intersection.

silhouette 

At night, a car that usually has a dark paint job, and no headlights on. It can literally come out of nowhere, as it is nothing but a silhouette of a vehicle.
I nearly got rammed by that silhouette when I was trying to make a left at midnight... stupid drunks.

lane drifting

On a multi-lane road (usually a highway or mainstreet), lane drifting is when a car suddenly begins 'drifting' over the lanes, usually because the driver isn't paying attention, or cannot see the lanes because they aren't painted well enough.

Usually they'll hover between two lanes, going the speed limit, and holding up traffic in both lanes.
I was stuck going 65 because the guy infront of me was lane drifting between the left lane and center lane, and was apparently oblivious to the chorus of car horns being layed upon him.

A car's turning signal. Cars sold in New England may as well have these as optional instead of standard, because few people use them.
That guy decided to turn on his left blinka after he had been sitting in the middle of the road while the traffic behind him stood dumbfounded for about half a minute.

The Murphy's Law of Driving

1) The car infront of you is always slower.

2) The car in back of you always wants to go faster.

3) There is never traffic until you start to back out of your driveway.

4) There is never traffic until you reach the stop sign.

5) When you are in a hurry, everyone is on a joy ride.

6) When you are looking for an address, everyone is in a hurry.

7) Bugs, salt, and other grime on the windshield are attracted to the area directly infront of your line of sight.

8) If a car in the other lane is hovering between you and the car infront of you, he wants to switch, even though...

9) Turn signals (blinkas) are never used.

10) Your exit is 3 lanes to the right, and about 200 feet away.

sword fight 

Also known as a sausage fest. Sword fights are parties with an overwhelming amount of males. What few females there are usually being cock blocked too. They develop when too many different cliques decide to show up, with few females being told of the party. Also, if two parties are being held at the same time, more or less one of them will turn into a sword fight, depending on which people the girls like.
I went to some dudes house party and it was a total sword fight. All the girls were either at the club or movies that night, and some other kids were cock blocking the girls that were there.

gang bang 

1) An orgy with one female.

2) When a gang or clique beats the living hell out of a smaller number of people, usually just one or two people. This is usually the case when a whity decides that he could act wild against the crips or jocks at an inner city party.
1) That chick is a total slut. She let 3 guys gang bang her!

2) Some kid from a Catholic school was getting wild when a local gang banger was hitting on his chick (This chick being the only reason the whity was even at the party). The gang banger and his friends showed him the door, head first.
