The mental traffic jam that arises out of worry. A dreaded future event -- report deadline, court appearance, meeting with boss -- is played over and over again in the brain, locking out other, more productive thoughts and often resulting in insomnia and excessive alcohol consumption.

Word or information you meant to google when you had computer access, but then forgot until you were, again, without access.
How much does the average insurance salesperson make in Lincoln, Nebraska? Yeah, I know we talked about it -- but it's another of those darn lost googles, man.

The action of a racecar hitting the wall, usually with the rear half of its body. This normally happens when the car is fighting a looseor oversteer condition while exiting a corner.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr., was tight going into 3, but he was loose coming off. So loose, in fact, that he slapped the wall.

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.

An escape from a convoluted, multi-addressed chain of email that no longer interests or involves the writer in any meaningful way.
"Thanks, all of you, for your many and varied contributions, but I note that we have reached a level of detail on insect migrations that I no longer find compelling or meaningful. Please consider this my fleemail and eliminate me from further cc lists, but do continue blathering amongst yourselves."

The paved portion of a racetrack on the extreme inside. Analogous to a highway shoulder, the apron often flattens out considerably -- a marked transition from the banking of the actual racing grooves. Daring or desperate drivers sometimes use the apron to pass, or to compensate for a tight condition in their racecars and get them to turn. However, the abrupt transition of the apron can also snap a car loose and force a spin.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr., has spun coming out of turn four. A tire might have gone down, or else he went so low onto the apron, he snapped loose.
