fleeg

The act of leaving a difficult or boring situation. Usually uttered by stoners on sofas, the word dates from at least the 1970s. More a negotiation stance than a command, a fleeg utterance rarely results in immediate action.

The test pattern is killing me. Let's fleeg this popstand.
But McHale's Navy is coming on. We'll fleeg later, man.

marble

Auto racing term for a ball of rubber on the track that has come off of a tire. Usually used in the plural. Multiple marbles take over entire racing lanes on the outside of normal racing grooves or lanes. Marbles decrease grip, causing cars to crash in corners. Drivers compare driving on marbles to driving on ice.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr., has been making great time on the high side. But that was too high. He got up into the marbles and slapped the wall.

gas-and-go

An auto racing pit stop for refueling but not changing tires. Often occurs near the end of the race and under green flag conditions, when limiting time in the pits is deemed more important than fresh rubber. This pit strategy is also used to gain positions under yellow flag conditions, when other cars are taking tires. Considered a risky move at those tracks that wear tires quickly. Not changing tires can add seconds a lap to a car's times.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr., does not have a enough Sunoco fuel to make it to the end of the race. He will be coming into the pits in three laps for a gas-and-go, says crew chief Lance McGrew.
